Question/Ideas about Tables and Grids #735

Open rabbers opened 4 years ago

rabbers commented 4 years ago

I can see that tables can be added in WISYWYG editor and in the usual fashion in Markdown editor. I do not however see tables in the block editor.

It is my thought that the block editor would be amazing if had a "Table" block - In this manner, each cell of the table could have it's own collection of nested blocks. Each utilizing the same interface as you have now, albeit with a narrower width as the layout dictates.

I was also thinking that perhaps your Markdown editor could be a block in it's own right in the Block editor. This would be amazing if it rendered a preview when the block was not being actively edited (and would also give basic access to tables).

Finally, I've been looking and I don't see anything to control or set up responsive grids and controls. The use of a grid system appears to be the domain of the theme designer. It occurs to me that in the first instance, a theme designer could subvert the table HTML (by way of theme specific classes) to acheive some kind of multi column/responsive layout from the editor.

These are just ideas, and I haven't really checked out how side-bars and the like might function in Publii, but it's sometimes just nicer to be able to use a grid where you need one. What are your thoughts in this area?

Thanks.

If I understand well, it's all about flexbox ;) https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_flexbox.asp

@JOduMonT - Flexbox is probably how this would be implemented, but my post is more about suggesting that the editor needs to be able to support blocks that have columns within them.

Yes it would be awesome to being able to make a grid without table also have snippets of CSS and HTML would be great
