VisualEditor: Tables wikitext can be inconsistent
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

In wikitext editor, you can separate cells with a double bar "||" on the same line :

Cell 1Cell 2Cell 3

(same thing for headers, except two exclamation marks "!!" are used).

When adding a new cell with VE, the result will look like

Cell 1Cell 2Cell 3
Cell 4

rather than |Cell 1 || Cell 2 || Cell 3 || Cell 4 .

While this still works, it makes the table less understandable and usable for those who do not use VE.

Merging into bug 63356; ideally we'd want Parsoid to use inline or per-line syntax per precedent in the context, which sounds messy.
