It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 11893
interpreted = N
texte = >I've been messing with trying to get found categories on a search.tmpl >file in to a table. > >ie there are say 6 catagories in the db, and we want to display then in 2 >columns of 3.I don't remember if anyone answered this already, but here's the hint:In order to 'break' at an arbitrary column while displaying a list of [founditems], you use [showif]'s ability to sense when a number is divisible by another.[showif [index]\3] means to do something every third time.So you would set up your table _as though_ it would go on forever with just one row leading from left to right. But you would put the [showif] inside that causes something special to happen every third item. In your case, it would close off the row and start another new row. [foundItems] [showif [index]\3][/showif] [/foundItems]
