You have not provided any details? Explain what table extended is, how you're using it, and what you expect vs. what you get. Thank you

[James-R-Thomas]

Sorry for the frustration, I am new to GitHub.

If this response does not address your questions please let me know and I will try to provide more details.

Here is an example of how I am using Table Extended in Obsidian, it allows you to merges cells in tables. This is the only plugin that I am aware of that allows you to merge cells.

What I get in the html output is the markdown source. It looks like this:

Thank you this helps a lot! I'll look into this :)

It seems you might also like using merged cells just as I do. The plugin you've been using, I've tried it as well, and it's not very convenient. I would suggest you use:

First recommendation: sheet table （https://github.com/NicoNekoru/obsidan-advanced-table-xt） （I suggest you use version V1.2.2.） Second recommendation: Asciidoctable(https://github.com/juracy/obsidian-asciidoc-blocks )

The table below was created using this plugin. These two plugins have simpler and more flexible syntax than the -TX- plugin, especially sheet table, which allows you to set the width and height of each cell. They are very practical to use.

These two plugins do not have any display issues when exporting with the webpagehtml plugin. You might consider giving them a try.

[James-R-Thomas]

The first suggestion (Sheets Extended) is very close to what I am looking for. However it does not support the multi line headers like the example that I posted above.

[KosmosisDire]

I think the multi line thing is just a difference in styles. You should be able to create a snippet to wrap the text in table headers I think

[James-R-Thomas]

This was done with the Sheets Extended plugin enabled. Here is the markdown file that I am working with: Acrobat - Copy.md

So a couple of problems, one of which is my own ignorance I am sure.

1. I don't know how to make it change for light mode vs. dark mode
2. The html output is also not working

Dark Mode:

Light Mode:

Html output:

Check in reading mode of obsidian, not the live preview. What does your table look like?

@James-R-Thomas

I'm not sure if there's a difference between your version of Obsidian and the plugin versions you have compared to the ones I've installed. I can achieve merged column headers without having to define any styles.

obsidian : V1.5.12 Sheets Extended plugin : V1.2.2

AND

The issue with exporting the theme is that it follows your operating system's settings. For instance, if macOS is set to dark mode, Obsidian will adhere to that. You can activate a theme switch during the export process, and simply use that switch to toggle between themes as necessary.

I just looked at the content of your notes, and I've identified the problem you're facing.

You entered the color code as black, so naturally, it appears black.

c: {backgroundColor: "#555",}

You can try replacing the color code.

For example.

{ classes: { c: {backgroundColor: "#FF6347",} }, }

@KosmosisDire

If he switched to the plugin I suggested to him, and it meets his requirements, then this issue would no longer exist.
