How about \ ►
Personally I like the look of "class=grid" added to the table tags but that's up to you (it doesn't support things like border sizes and header cells).

Thanks I did not know how to do that with money.

I got tired of all the spells and no Icons.
Black Blood of the Earth
Black Blood of the Earth
Earthen Vortex
Falling Fragments
Resonating Crystal
Furious
Stomp
Summon Kohcrom
Which looks like this:
Morchok 10 man HC: Abilities
.
I made it by inserting a link with the spell.
Along with the spell name text, i put in the link for the picture/icon. Which i found on the NPCs page. Then placed the cursor in front the spell text and used the "add image" button. Put the image/icons url in it, and if needed made an image link more after it all.
Altered the width and height on the image, so it resembles an icon.
Just thought i would share it.
I have put in the code for the Raid splitting table aswell.
There are several combinations that can be used. But in general this is what you will need:
RAID SPLITTING
GROUP1
(Left Side)
GROUP2
(Right Side)
1 Tank 1 Tank
1-2 Melee DPS 1-2 Melee DPS
1-2 Ranged DPS 1-2 Ranged DPS
1 Healer 2 Healers
4 Healers - two in each group

I don't mean to prompt a /facepalm but the site can make these for you with simple spell links. These are usable by all users on the forum and in comments, not only in guides.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Actually I was trying to get it to show the headers and first line as a chart in the post but it came out looking like crap. Personally the way it looks in graph form I do not like the item icon size or the text size it is too small, and I was hoping the I could get input from others on how to make it look better.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##asakawa##DELIM##

Basically using some acronyms to make some of the header spacing more comfortable, bigger icon, 0 money, ToC + \s.

I thought it was meant to do that too, but when i paste or use the spell link feature like this in the code editor, iI get this:
Black Blood of the Earth
Then i get a yellow link looking like this: (Spell #103851)
I just tried using the spell ID feature here, and that works!
When I do that in the guide editor and save, then its back to (Spell #103851).
So I tried some different stuff out, and it seems that the guide editor aren't able/allowed to show icons from things like spells.
That means if you want to see your completely finished view of your guide, you either save and exit the guide, or save, then open a new window/pane -> My Guides -> Your guide. Then it shows the guide just as would before you click the edit button.
I don't know if I just completely missed out on something, but I don't see why the editors preview can't show the icons?
My browser: Google Chrome
Reported this to wowhead feedback aswell.
Thanks so much for pointing out the /facepalm. Now I can atleast link spells normal and just see it in another window/pane!

Yeah. That is somewhat bothersome, but it is "working as intended".
Oh - a question on your code Asakawa, based on what i've been experiencing while doing work on my latest guide:
You use
What i've noticed is that when you use td=header, then it automatically gets the property align=center, making that excess code a waste of space unless i've misunderstood something?
Also it seems like the valign=middle is always set as default making that redundant as well?
1 line here
3 lines here

I wish I could hide my code in a toggler, but that only works for me in guides so this becomes a bit extra long - sorry.

Good Work buddy!
I had carried the error from the spell icon thing into this aswell as over tagging. But then we have you to correct us... :)

OMG, That is Exactly What I was trying for. Thank you so much.
Looks like the quote screwed it up again.

Yup, but the preview is actually a toggler itself and I don't think you can make togglers containing togglers, but not sure.

Okay so the items links thing is just how it works. If you see the item link in brackets and yellow text then it will be fine once published so don't worry about it.
The quotes are messed up because I'm using staff/guide only codes that only I can use in this thread but you should be able to use it all perfectly well in the guides themselves.
Togglers can stack:
Toggler One
Toggler Two
Toggler Three
Toggler One
Toggler Two

You been sneaking a peak at my DW-guide have you? ;-)
Need some help with acronyms. When i write:
So far tactics are included for 8/8 on normal difficulty, as well as 3/8 on heroic mode.
it writes 3/8 on heroic mode, but for some reason the tooltip doesn't appear when i mouseover (i pressed save, and viewed it in final form). Am i doing something wrong?
Edit: Noticed it has same problems here.

Isn't that interesting, and it completely breaks if you don't escape the apostrophe too, I thought it might just close the quotes early or something.
I'll add a note in the guide section.

I actually came across some other "interesting" stuff:
When you name the id of you togglers (and probably tooltips as well), you gotta be careful not to give them a name similar to one of your 's. It won't work for me here since i'm not a mod, but try writing something along the lines of:
Credits
Names of a couple of guys.
Screenshot Credits:
Names of some more guys.
That one gave me a little headache at some point.
TY for helping on the acronym. Must've been tired. Had that problem on some other stuff as well. Generally everything you have where an ' is inside brackets, it destroys them somehow. Had same problems with .

Hehe, that's interesting. My guess is that it's because \ and \ tags automatically create anchors for you using the header text as the anchor (so even if you don't use the automated \ you could still make up your own ToC using those anchors).
