Forum:Template Issue and XHTML

We are trying to finish a template for an infobox on the RPGStarter and we've hit a problem. The code for the box is here. We are attempting to make a blank space, or no space at all occur when a user does not fill in the field "picture" with an image name by using XHTML. The old version of the template supported this feature, but required the user to enter the wikilink for the image; we want to allow users to just enter the name of the image, itself. We have the blank space working with the current code, but when a picture is entered this is the result. See the little "|" sign on the left side of the image? That shouldn't be there. We threw some wikipipe in there to do what we wanted, but the result obviously isn't working. Would the wikipipe be better replaced with XHTML to produce the same results, or is there some other solution? I'm stumped. --TarrVetus 15:23, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
