For a wiki post I started, I added lots of raw HTML tables and links to png images. They look pretty good in the preview. Upon clicking `Save Edit` nothing happens. No save, no error message. Screen is the same as if I had not pressed `Save Edit`.

Same when pressing `Ctrl-Enter`.

Had to save text to local machine and abandon edit.

After save re-edited Wiki, pasted in saved text and then clicking `Save Edit` worked as expected.

Example of pasted HTML

```html

<table>
	<tr>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">a = a</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">π = π</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">☃ = ☃</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			Unify: <font color="green">true</font><br />
			MGU: {}
		</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			Unify: <font color="green">true</font><br />
			MGU: {}
		</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			Unify: <font color="green">true</font><br />
			MGU: {}
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			SWI-Prolog:<br />
			?- =(a,a).<br />
			true.
		</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			SWI-Prolog:<br />
			?- =(π,π).<br />
			true.
		</td>
		<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:top">
			SWI-Prolog:<br />
			?- =(☃,☃).<br />
			true.
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

The pattern repeats 16 times, just the values for the data and images change.

Is there any reason you aren’t using markdown tables?

Yes.

I started with markdown tables and they looked horrible. Give it a try and if you can do it looking as good as the example posted I will take a serious look at them again. I am no markdown expert, but also not a beginner.

Also the images are not in the way I would like them. They are also suppose to be a row in the table and line up under the corresponding query, but I haven’t figured out how to do images in a table in a way that discourse likes.

What do you see in your browser console after clicking safe edit? Any JS errors?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I wasn’t expecting another response and don’t regularly visit this forum

Currently can’t reproduce the error. Will try to remember this next time and respond back.

I only did the raw HTML tables once in discourse and don’t see a need for it again anytime soon. May be a long, long time, if ever that I need to do tables in discourse again.

[Here](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/wiki-how-to-unification/691) is the actual page with the HTML. It is a Wiki so you can look at it you need.
