Subject: Pipe character in a table cell?
Date: Mon, 28 May 2012 09:15:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87txz0bddc.wl%ded-law@ddoherty.net> (raw)


All,

I would like to put a string with an embedded pipe character in the
cell.  The idea is to display regular expressions, which inevitably
contain pipe characters.  I've tried /one|two/, one\|two, "one|two", and even
"one\|two", but they all split the entry into two cells.

Is there anyway to escape the pipe character so that the cell is not
split by it?

If not, may I suggest this as a feature request.  Preferably, allow a
pipe to be embedded in quotes to be ignored?

Regards

Dan Doherty
