vertical bar literal |

vertical bar in decimal |

vertical bar literal in table is rendered as two columns. The desired result is a single column. echo ... grep H.

Sample

| echo "Hello World" | grep H |

Question: Can a vertical bar be escaped in a table?

Question: There is a Unicode Symbol for "CopyRight". (C)

Suggestion: How about a Unicode Symbol for vertical line (V) or (l)?

Here are two revised samples.

Sample with V
| echo "Hello World" (V) grep H |

Sample with l
| echo "Hello World" (l) grep H |

Question: Can a vertical bar be escaped in a table?

Yes, you can wrap it in notextile marks, e.g == | == to make it appear in its own right in a table.

Try entering the following on the tables demo page:

| A | simple | table | row |
| And | another  | table | row |
| With a | dual ==  | == item | -empty- | cell |
