Hi @Mojo

in this case, the `stripnewlines` is breaking the table. Let’s take a closer look :

In the table you first start with the header (optional), secondly you define how the table should look like fi. alignment and in this case color. The third part consists of the actual text you want to see.

```auto
{% stripnewlines %}
|--------+1c4264
{% newline %}
|{% t "abcde" %}
{% newline %}
{% endstripnewlines %}

```

The color is only visible in the export mode, so you will not see the color in preview.

If you want more info about the table structure, you can read this community-post : [CASE: different table structures](https://community.silverfin.com/t/case-different-table-structures/1529)

Kind regards  
Sofie
