Speedy is laboring in vain to make it not bug out, but ah, it is his first script lol. I’ve been reporting the bugs to him as I find them but cutting down the base format like that seems to be a bit too difficult for him. It’s always a pain to maintain full Tables on Articles, & though putting it wholesale into a Template might make the code cleaner, it just makes it harder to reach & maintain. Despite that, tables really are excellent for displaying data, certainly much better than walls of text, so I don’t think doing away with them would be the proper approach. If I knew Lua, I would be able to hook up a template that only creates cells if you add field with information, which would severely cut back on the complexity of the table you see in source code. I still probably could without Lua, but it’d be buggy as hell & if a table got too big I’d have to expand the template. We could ask about it on Community Central, they might have an idea for an alternative (or better yet, a pre-built Lua module somewhere).
