Forum:Inline table

Hey guys I've been experimenting with tables and am curious about something. Is there any way to create an inline table without breaking paragraph formatting? I've tried using both the pipe syntax tables and HTML tables with the "display: inline;" style attribute. With the pipe syntax the table always gets placed on a new line. With the HTML syntax the table will start on the correct line but it breaks the paragraph formatting. Example:

HTML table:

Paragraph number one begins here. Paragraph number one ends here. Paragraph number two begins here. Paragraph number two ends here.

Result (paragraphs are broken, so both paragraphs appear on the same line):

Paragraph number one begins here. Paragraph number one ends here.

Paragraph number two begins here. Paragraph number two ends here.

Pipe table:

Paragraph number one begins here. Paragraph number two begins here.

Result (tables are forced to begin on new line, despite being inline):

Paragraph number one begins here.

Paragraph number two begins here.

Is there any way to have a truly inline table that doesn't break the paragraph it's in? Thanks in advance. -- nonoitall 00:33, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
