Thread:Project:Support desk/Prevent table tags being translated into entities

I am working on a lua module that accepts an undefined amount of arguments to produce a table. I have a template that invokes the module I have a row template:



This is how I call the module template:

Finally, the lua module:

Now, the problem is that with this setup, the table layout in the row template is not recognized as wikitext, and instead is returned as is. I tried to use &lt;tr&gt; and &lt;td&gt; tags in the row template, but those tags were translated to HTML entities since it wasn't in a table context. I then tried to use the table creation tags in the invoking template -  - and modifying the lua module to , however then the tags in the lua module were translated to entities. Despite the tags being in a table context, MediaWiki will not acknowledge it. Is there any way for me to force the wiki to not translate the tags - or perhaps there is a better practice to accomplish what I want? 77.222.174.71 14:15, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
