[pmwiki-users] table problem after update

[Jabba Laci]

Dear Petko,

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for my previous email, my email client didn't
show your answer, that's why I asked again.

I could track down the problem to a cookbook recipe called extendmarkup.php
. Once I downloaded the newest version, the problem disappeared.

Thanks!

Laszlo
