I've got a pretty minor template problem, and have found a fairly decent workaround, but am wondering if I'm missing some more obvious or better solution.

When making a wikitable, it's usually no problem to have a cell that consists of just a list of items, like

But if I try to make a template for that simple table,

and then use it like

It doesn't display properly, I believe because the beginning whitespace is being ignored. I could force the newline into the template, except that would mess things up for any cell content that doesn't start with a list.

The best workaround I've found is this

Since it forces the newline to be kept but doesn't actually have anything in the first line to display, it doesn't add any extra size to the cell. But still, anything that must be done on many actual uses of the template is pretty suboptimal.

I just tried a different solution where the template would check to see if the first character of cellcontent was a *, in which case it would add a newline on the template side. However, this didn't work--anything successfully added by the check was still followed by the first list item not displaying as a list item.
