:::As I suggested in the other discussion, maybe one solution is to render the file on its own, then insert a line break and then render the caption without any processing, outside of the File: invocation. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 20:25, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
::::I have created [[Template:Transclude files as random slideshow/testcases2]] to demonstrate two of these errors. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 14:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
:::::Came across this issue again while investigating something else, so I decided to take a look. The primary issue lies in how galleries work, and how they don't respect tables that well, and unfortunately I'm not sure if this has a simple solution. I've left my findings on what I've noticed on [[Special:Permalink/1116592103|this page]] with examples, which should explain it well. As for solutions, the only idea I have is preventing the expansion of templates, but I have yet to test this, and I'm not sure if the expansion is currently intentional for a different reason.

::::::{{ping|Jonesey95}} Good news - after quite a touch up today with how the module works and some more light work yesterday, I've mostly fixed the 2 main causes of the bogus file option linter errors, bringing down the total number of errors from what I think was ~140 to ''10'' (and a few are human errors, not the module). I'm going to do a minor look into weird upright inclusion behaviour after this post, but as far as I can see the new version is working fine, though if you notice any issues or have suggestions, do tell me. Hope this helps. [[User:Aidan9382|Aidan9382]] <sub>([[User talk:Aidan9382|talk]])</sub> 12:16, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
::::::...iiiiif I didn't run into issues, which apparently seems to be impossible with me :). Turns out [[Module:Excerpt slideshow]] was quite unhappy with what I tried and blew up on the spot, so I also now have to go fix that. If the linter errors are back to below 15, I've found a fix before you've seen this. If not, hopefully I will soon after.
