Does anyone know of a css hack to disable word wrapping for tables that are indented within bulleted or numbered lists? (in Edit mode)
E.g. try pasting this markdown into the Obsidian editor:
1. Foo
2. Bar
| Alice | Bob | Charlie |
|:-------------------------------------- |:----------------------------------- |:------------------------------------------ |
| Long lines are not always nice to have | But sometimes you need to have them | And When You Do, it's great to be able to |
| So, hopefully | There's a way... | To Make This more readable |

| Alice | Bob | Charlie |

For me at least, the indented table is rendered with word wrap, so it looks like this:
…vs. the non-indented one, which looks nice and neat…
Any way to avoid this? (I understand it looks ok in preview mode, but the jumble in edit mode is what’s problematic)
I used Advance Tables plugin and it looked fine with the indent in preview mode. Yes, it looks odd in edit mode. I hope this helps.

One of the problems is that in preview mode the ‘indented table’ is not identified as a table.
Your second table has the class class=" HyperMD-table-2 HyperMD-table-row HyperMD-table-row-0 CodeMirror-line " (row-1, row-2, …) with white-space: pre. But the ‘indented table’ has the class class=" HyperMD-list-line-nobullet HyperMD-list-line HyperMD-list-line-1 CodeMirror-line " with white-space: pre-wrap.
Any change to this last class can affect others unwanted elements.
But you can try this and see…:
Thanks @mnvwvnm - do you know if this is something that Obsidian devs can fix themselves or is it a CodeMirror problem? (btw: that CSS you posted does sort of work! But since the selector is so nonspecific I wonder what other consequences this will have)
edit 2: I quickly realized that using .HyperMD-list-line.HyperMD-list-line-nobullet causes all sorts of problems, basically any indented text e.g. a > BlahBlah....... callout will also have wrap disabled. And it also does something weird with the spacing.
Too bad. I wonder if I should move this to bug reports? @WhiteNoise ?
