Check to make sure your table syntax choice is still set correctly. On the Admin/Wiki page (tiki-admin.php?page=wiki), Tables syntax should indicate "\n for rows".

You mean you used to be able to use either table syntax? I don't have a pre-1.9.0 Tiki to check with, but as I recall, I had to choose one syntax to use or the other, by changing it on the Admin/Wiki page, and only the chosen syntax would be displayed correctly on my wiki pages.

Anyway, that's water under the bridge. I think it's probably a good idea to stick with one syntax for a particular page feature like a table, both from the wiki-parsing point of view and to keep things simple for the user. As far as I know, there are two ways to make tables only because one was an earlier method and then another method was added but the first wasn't deleted, for legacy reasons, so existing pages wouldn't break. Is there any advantage to having two methods to choose from? Is the old method superior to the new one in any way? Just curious.
