Item13167: layout problem of tables within lists

... as used so often all over the standard Foswiki documentation.

Tables break the list parser. Also: switching this markup from wysiwyg to wiki text breaks the code as well. This does not happen using old TablePlugin.

However, it turns out that switching off both - TablePlugin as well as JQTablePlugin - will render tables in list incorrect. I'd assume that TablePlugin was masking a problem of the default table renderer part of the core.

From System.VarTABPANE

You type:

   * Example: see JQueryTabpane for more examples
   * Parameters:
     %TABLE{sort="on"}%
     | *Parameter:* | *Description:* | *Default:* |
     | select | number or id of tab to select | 1 |
     | automaxexpand | resizes the tabpane to the maximum height to fit into the window | off |
     | minheight | when automaxexpand is enabled, this is the minimum size a tab is allowed to be resized | 230 |
     | class | extra class: use =simple= for a non-3D tabpane | | 
     | animate | (on/off) enables/disables animation of switching tabs | off |
   * Related: [[VarTAB]], [[VarENDTAB]], [[VarENDTABPANE]], JQueryPlugin, JQueryTabpane

You get:

But should be:

After reviewing the code it seems both the Foswiki core table renderer and the TablePlugin renderer don't agree wether tables should either close a list or not. Unit tests make this more explicit. As most users as well as current Foswiki docu expects tables not to close a list, the core renderer shouldn't either.
