How to enter several firmware version for the same CPU

How should several firmware versions for the same CPU be entered in the table? I've got at least three versions for the KA410, for example. Vaxorcist (talk) 16:43, 14 August 2022 (CEST)

As in, several different DEC part numbers? I would just put them on different lines in the appropriate table cell; you can use '<br>' (technically, '<br />' to be 'legal' HTML, I guess, although plain '<br>' will work with most browsers) to force them to be separate lines. Here is an example; under 'Drive Controller(s)'. Or did you need something better?

Oh, BTW, I have found that religious use of the 'Show preview' button will prevent most cases of "Fixed badly fixed typo", etc. Jnc (talk) 17:19, 14 August 2022 (CEST)

Thanks for the quick help! I remember having noticed curly braces {} for multiple items in templates and I didn't want to use that for my case.

If there was a 'Show preview' use counter you could see how frequent I use it, but things don't go better with age ... Vaxorcist (talk) 17:34, 14 August 2022 (CEST)

Oh, inside a table cell, you can use almost any formatting you can use at the 'top level', if you want something more complex. For example, in the example, replacing the '<br>'s with '<hr>'s will put lines between them. (You can use 'Show preview' to see how it loooks, without actually needing to edit a page.) Heck, you can put an entire table inside a cell (of a larger table), if you want. 20:19, 14 August 2022 (CEST)
