What about [[Template:Overline]]? I found it in use on [[Wikipedia: Repeating decimal]] --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 12:46, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Here an example:

|-
| 5
| 30.{{overline|30}}

== The " meaning ==
It seems that the meaning of <code>"</code> is meant to be ''the same content as left of this cell'' in this case, in most other cases it's ''the same content as above this cell''. I have my reservations about this shorthand, although of course I understand that it saves a lot of useless reading and thus increases the overview considerably. In javascript-enhanced tables it breaks or prevents sortability. Could it be possible to get the same effect via CSS? Would it even be a stylistic matter? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 12:26, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
: Just thought I'd throw this out there, but the phrase ''the same content as left of this cell'' is also the meaning of the merged cells on the [[Table of 94edo intervals]]... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 13:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
:: May need further experimenting until I find a better solution. The sortability problem doesn't sound relevant, unless we really sort it. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 17:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
::: Well this was meant as a reminder. I have seen [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=41edo&oldid=42792 this shorthand in tables] that could benefit well from being sortable. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 18:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
