Template for Pitcher
- I am having a challenge with TheBrain’s notes using a custom markdown, and the first row of our table is being interpreted as formatting rather than plain text.
Year Lg Team W L W% ERA G GS GF CG SHO SV IP H R ER HR BB IBB SO HBP BK WP BF
This is the result when i paste into my table each time.
This is the result when Cerebro Wrapped the header line in a fenced code block so TheBrain doesn’t try to format it:

I asked Ai Cerebro to help me:
You’re running into TwoBrain’s custom “smart table” markup colliding with your header row. The trick is:
- Keep your existing table body exactly as-is ✅
- Replace the header row with one that:
- Uses the same number of columns as the data rows
- Ends with the :(table=...) clause
- Does not have extra pipes or invisible columns
Your data rows clearly have 21 columns:
Year, Team, W, L, ERA, G, GS, GF, IP, H, R, ER, HR, BB, IBB, SO, HBP, BK, WP, BF
So use this as the first line (header) and paste it immediately above your 2015 row, replacing your current Pitching: line and the broken header at the very bottom:
Then your full block should look like this (no extra header at the bottom):
Key points to check if it still misbehaves:
- No extra | at the end of any line beyond the :(table=...) on the header.
- The stray line at the very bottom starting with YearLgTeamWL... must be deleted. (???)
- Paste this into notes as plain text (not inside a separate code block).
If it still mangles the header after this, tell me exactly what it turns into (or screenshot text) and I can tweak the header markup further.
- The header row is fine now, however, look what happened to the Team column. There is something there but we can't see it.
- Ai Cerebro asked me to provide a screenshot, however there is no way to actually paste or share a screenshot.
Given your markup, the TEAM column is where you’re using the ... wrapper plus the link and the style:

What’s very likely happening:
TheBrain’s note engine is parsing the ... syntax first, and it may be:
Dropping or mangling the style="color:#00ffff00" bit, or
Turning the whole TEAM cell into some odd markup / blank / literal curly braces.
To stabilize the TEAM column, let’s remove the extra style wrapper and just use normal links inside the table.
Fix: TEAM column as plain links (no ... )
Try this version for one or two rows and see if the TEAM column looks right:
Pitching:
Changes made to team column:
- Removed all
wrappers. - Left the links as pure Team markdown inside each TEAM cell.
- Kept the same number and order of columns.
If that fixes the TEAM column:
You’re good to use this pattern for all your pitcher tables.
If you still absolutely need the teal color, we’ll have to experiment with a different, simpler styling wrapper in one row only (but let’s confirm the plain-link version displays correctly first).
If it still looks wrong, can you tell me in words what it does to the TEAM cell? For example:
- Is it showing the raw markdown (Boston Red Sox)?
- Is it blank?
- Is it repeating some other value?
- Describe one row’s TEAM cell and I’ll adjust the syntax accordingly.
- The problem with v.15 is we no longer get to see or access the markdown "wrappers"
see video: Text background color issue
I tried several times to change the text background color to yellow, and it would not change. When I selected a different color it changed no problem.
