</noinclude>If the block-formatted content begins with a list (or any other wikimarkup that is dependent upon a specific markup character being at the beginning of a line) then due to a bug in [[MediaWiki]], a {{xtag|nowiki|s}} must exist before the list (or whatever) starts. Compare:

To embed a table in block markup like this, the block template's content parameter must be named or numbered and include the self-closing noinclude – as in <code><nowiki>|1=<nowiki /></nowiki></code> – then every <code><nowiki>|</nowiki></code> character in the table markup must be escaped with {{tlx|!}}. An alternative is to use explicit HTML {{code|lang=html|code=<table>}}, {{code|lang=html|code=<tr>}}, {{code|lang=html|code=<th>}}, and {{code|lang=html|code=<td>}} markup.<noinclude>
{{Documentation|content=This is transcluded documentation, which can be transcluded in the /doc pages of various templates like {{tlx|Block indent}} and {{tlx|Quote}}, e.g. under a "Technical issue with block templates" heading or the like. Right now it takes no parameter other than {{para|1|{{var|foo}}}}, to change the <code><nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki></code> to something else, thus changing the display (and operation) to use something other than {{para|1}} in the shown template operations.
