After publishing this topic I noticed that table colouring is stripped when published.

It would be nice if there is more control over table formatting.

Also, I noticed that markdown formatting for linking urls doesn’t work inside cells. You currently actually need to make an a href tag for them.

  • The linking and everything else works in the cells if you put it like so #<table> – DemonSeed about 2 years ago
  • I don’t understand. can you elaborate? I think there is some missing tags in your comment – birkoff about 2 years ago
  • Was just saying that if you place the pound# in fount of the first table tag, that it makes the things inside the cell work like normal. Took lots of trial and error to find what works and what doesn’t. #<table>blablabla</table> Works – DemonSeed about 2 years ago
  • With the exception of the color. Color doesn’t work anywhere. – DemonSeed about 2 years ago
  • excellent! thanks for the tip. it works for linking other topics – birkoff about 2 years ago

Yeah you have to use <h1> tags inside the cells to get the size to work.

Pretty much you have to use <b></b> <i></i> <h1></h1> for the standard things to work inside a cell.

To do bullets inside a cell you have to use

<ul>
<li>
<li>

Putting the # in front of the table will let hot links and image links work in the cell. Everything else has to be in <tag> form.

Can you give me a list of which tags I should add the the white list so I can sort this out?

Our tag filtering is white list based, so I need to keep on pushing stuff through

For table tags I would at least like the following so I can properly format the table in the OP. I hope I understood you correctly.

table

  • cellpadding
  • cellspacing
  • border
  • background-color
  • color
  • font-size
  • style

tr

  • style
  • background-color
  • color

But I think style should be enough since that is the CSS pointer and all order tags can go in there right?

Inside a table it would be nice if the markdown formatting for bold, italics and bullet lists could work but I don’t know if that’s technically possible. using the html tags works but is a bit cumbersome.
