Description

"I noticed this problem with Philetas of Cos. It looked fine a few days ago, but when I rechecked it now, poems containing tables (in order to show transliteration) were preceded by huge amounts of vertical white space. Currently there are several lines' worth of unwanted vertical white space between the "Here is an example poem and transliteration" line, and the poem. The generated HTML contains a lot of <br /> elements that generate that white space. A few days ago, it didn't do that. "

Note that this isn't a good way to lay out your text to begin with -- here you should probably not use <poem> at all (using the table alone to match up lines), or use a <poem> per stanza each in a table cell, ensuring that your lines continue to match up.

Now at [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)/Archive_50#Tables_in_poems_stopped_working]].

Whatever this was, it seems to work correctly now.
