Table issues with thought "John Farrell"
- Take a look at this mess: Ai Cerebro thinks that it fixed the header row of each table.

My conversation with Ai Cerebro: I can see why this is confusing—the behavior you’re describing (things appearing/disappearing as you resize the pane) is consistent with a rendering quirk, not the underlying text being deleted.
From the actual stored notes for John Farrell right now:
- What’s actually in your notes
Major-league Fielding (MLB) section:
Fielding:
| Year | Lg | Team | Pos | GP | GS | Inn. | PO | A | E | DP | Fld% | RF/9 | RF/G |
...
So for major-league fielding, the header row with Year Lg Team ... is present and should display.
Minor League Service section:
Minor League Service:
YearLevelTeamLeague
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||:(table="column-widths:-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,59,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;justification:default"):
|1984|A|{[MIDW](...)}|{[Waterloo Indians](...)}|0|5|.000|6.44|:{...:(style="color:#0000ff00"):}:|:{...:(style="color:#0000ff00"):}:|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|...|
\|1984|A|{[Waterloo Indians](...)...}|{[Midwest League](...)...}|:(table="column-widths:-1,0,0,0,0;justification:default"):
...
The “header” exists, but it’s currently on a separate line as YearLevelTeamLeague (no tabs/pipes) above the actual table directive.
The table directive is at the end of the first data row, which is odd but syntactically still valid.
| 1984 | A | {MIDW} | {Waterloo Indians} | P | 9 | 0 | 8 | 1 | 0 | .889 | .889 |
All minor‑league Team and League cells are present and correctly linked in every row.
Minor League Pitching section:
Pitching:
...
Header row is currently just a line of ||||... with the table directive.
All the league/team data rows are intact.
Minor League Fielding section:
Fielding:
...
My earlier header replacement didn’t “stick”; the current header line is again just ||||... with the table directive.
All minor‑league fielding rows (with league and team links) are still there.
So: no data rows have been removed; the issue is purely how the header lines and the table directive are laid out, which TheBrain’s renderer is apparently treating strangely depending on pane width.
- Why you might see “invisible” headers
Given what I see, your experience likely comes from:
TheBrain v15’s note renderer collapsing or hiding text when the table directive and header/info are not in the exact pattern it expects.
The odd placement of (on a data row or shared with a bar-only line) plus the custom ...:(style=...)... styling around links, which can affect color/visibility.
The raw text is there (for MLB fielding) or present but not in a true header row (for minor league sections).
- How I suggest we fix this safely
| 1984 | A | {Waterloo Indians} | {Midwest League} |
If you’re comfortable, I can:
Normalize the three minor-league tables to have a clear, visible header row and keep the table directive aligned, without touching any data rows:
Minor League Service
Replace:
Minor League Service:
YearLevelTeamLeague
\|1984|A|...|...|:(table="column-widths:-1,0,0,0,0;justification:default"):
With:
Minor League Service:
Year Level Team League
...
Minor League Pitching
Replace only the first line under the heading:
Pitching:
With something like:
Pitching:
Year Level Lg Team W L PCT ERA G GS GF CG SHO SV IP H R ER HR BB IBB SO HBP WP BK ERA+
Minor League Fielding
Replace:
Fielding:
With:
Fielding:
Year Level Lg Team Pos GP PO A E DP Fld% RF/G
Leave every existing stat row and link untouched.
| Year | Lg | Team | Pos | GP | GS | Inn. | PO | A | E | DP | Fld% | RF/9 | RF/G |
To proceed precisely:
You’ve already given the minor‑league Fielding header:
Year Level Lg Team Pos GP PO A E DP Fld% RF/G
If you can paste:
The exact header you want for Minor League Service (currently logically: Year Level Team League), and
The exact header you want for Minor League Pitching,
| 1984 | A | {Waterloo Indians...} | {Midwest League...} |
I’ll apply each of them in that narrow, targeted way, and we can re-check the raw Markdown afterward to confirm they’re present exactly as you expect.
So, I was still seeing blank columns until I closed the Plex pane, making the Content/Notes pane larger and then the table adjusted and now I see the text in "red" letters. However, I am not seeing your header text. It's invisible again or not there anymore.
I can see why this is confusing—the behavior you’re describing (things appearing/disappearing as you resize the pane) is consistent with a rendering quirk, not the underlying text being deleted.
| 1984 | A | {MIDW} | {Waterloo Indians} | 0 | 5 | .000 | 6.44 | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... |

Watch this video you will see the text color change from red to blue:
See Video: Stretch the content/notes pane

- So today, I look at this table and as I am reading it, this happens,
see video.
unstable Table
In the video I try to see if I can get the text back by stretching the width of the content/note pane, now I am looking at this.
