Author: ui2t5v002

Description:
When a pipe markup table is placed after a heading with a newline between them,
an extra is generated between them.

The renderer is supposed to ignore a single newline after a heading; it should
behave the same way whether there's a newline or not.

Tables done in HTML do not have this extra , whether there is a
newline or not. See my example page.

I noticed this with templates with tables inside, but it also happens with other
templates. Template:main, for instance, has a colon as the first character, and
has the same problem when transcluded, but not when subst'ed.

Oh! And when subst'd, the pipe markup table and template:main both get an extra
newline added at the beginning. In other words:

Heading

becomes:

Heading

:''Main article: [[test]]''

It gets an extra newline added before it. This does not happen with plain text
templates or ones with HTML table markup.

Encasing the entire template in tags gets rid of the extra newline, which
might act as a workaround for now.

[[User:Omegatron/Sandbox/ExtraBR]] has extra space following it because of this.

I don't see the problem on the linked page any more. It was probably caused by T14974, but something special-cases empty lines before tables now.

This is still the case, and it has been filed as T65912 in the meantime.
