Oh joy, it's happened again.

At the top of this page - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/User:SannaSK/Sandbox?oldid=33879 - is a chart. The template it's calling is here - http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/User:SannaSK/Template:Test?oldid=33878

My goal is: sometimes a cell needs to display only the text it's calling from SkillsEffectData, and sometimes it needs to display that plus a "+20%" or "-10%". I suppose I could just put more and more codes into SED (which I did a couple of), but it seems like this was supposed to be the easier solution (why bother having the codes if only one mob's spell is "debuff atk/def -10%"? the point of the codes is to be fake-database-y).

I tried doing an 'if', as in, 'if |a= exists and has data, display the data; if not, display nothing.' Then I tried with #switch. And because I am stupid with understanding how if/switch/variables exist in the first place, it took me a bit to realize I could just put and it should take care of the 'if exist, display, if not, don't' part itself. At all points, there were pre-tags here. What is going on???

The code in the template: The parameter block on the page: The View-Source output: AUGH why the pre-tags!!!!!

(I had to space out the close-'p r e' because this reply box was assuming that I meant it.)

I mean, technically, the thing I'm trying to do is working - if the cell exists, display the data; if there is no cell, don't, idk, puke and die - but....

I mean, what would I even Google to figure out what's going wrong?
