The key to correct table rendering is to ensure proper indentation levels for headers and data cells. Each subsequent header or data cell within a row must be nested one level deeper than the previous one. - The `{{[[table]]}}` block acts as the container for the entire table. - The first header block should be at level 2 (one level deeper than `{{[[table]]}}`). - Subsequent header blocks must increase their level by one. - Each row starts at level 2. - The first data cell in a row is at level 3 (one level deeper than the row block). - Subsequent data cells within the same row must increase their level by one. Example of a 4x4 table structure: ``` {{[[table]]}} - Header 1 - Header 2 - Header 3 - Header 4 - Row 1 - Data 1.1 - Data 1.2 - Data 1.3 - Data 1.4 - Row 2 - Data 2.1 - Data 2.2 - Data 2.3 - Data 2.4 - Row 3 - Data 3.1 - Data 3.2 - Data 3.3 - Data 3.4 - Row 4 - Data 4.1 - Data 4.2 - Data 4.3 - Data 4.4 ``` IMPORTANT: Always consult this cheatsheet for correct Roam-flavored markdown syntax BEFORE making any Roam tool calls. --- ## Specific notes and preferences concerning my Roam Research graph --- ⭐️📋 END (Cheat Sheet LOADED) < < < 📋⭐️
