Expected Behavior

so just for simplicity I created a table and I want the user to click on the dice on the text line: Rool from Table 3, which works ok but Im not sure why some things are nessesary and how to add additional flags.

| d6  | Encounter       |
| --- | --------------- |
| 1   | Damaged Walls   |
| 2   | Treasure        |
| 3   | Pit Trap        |
| 4   | Troglodytes     |
| 5   | Skeletons       |
| 6   | The Lost Knight |
^blockid003

Roll from Table 3: `dice: [[TTRPTables^blockid003]]|Encounter`

For starters since the table is in the same MD doc Im not sure why I have to mention it here, what if I decided later to change the name of the page then all my rolls would break.

Second is that I tried to add the |none flag but that doesnt seem to work correctly. I even have it set globaly to not have a value on page load but it still runs the dice formula. I even tried adding it inline with the formula but there isnt anything in the documentation that I saw that disucsed how to add mutiple flags. Some examples gave me some clues but no of it worked

Roll from Table 3: `dice: [[TTRPTables^blockid003]]|Encounter, none`
Roll from Table 3: `dice: [[TTRPTables^blockid003]]|Encounter|none`

Utimatly I would just like to have the ID of the table if its in the same page and to be able to add mutiple options together

Current behaviour

The current behavor based on what I tried above was just displaying the formula on on the rendered page and doesnt function as anything but text.

I was doing some more testing and in the above example the none is actually displaying the middle value instead of empty. I found this out by just using none on a random roll of the dice and that does show empty.

So in the above example it always pick Pit Trap when the page is loaded. Hope this helps explain it a little more.
