[Question] Whole table CSS

[HippyCraig]

I already have my own css file with the formating I want for a table. Is there a way to add just the class to the whole table? It seems like the code block is overkill for what I am trying to do. I dont want to have the CSS in two places like that.

is it as simple as adding "~ .class1" at the begining of the table with my custom class? I have another plugin that provides a way to add style sheets to teh whole table but I would like to just use yours to do everything if thats possible

Thanks Craig

Sorry, for now, the code block syntax is the only option for full-table styling.

The problem with implementing styling support in native tables like the plugin can with the custom code blocks is that I am not exactly sure how the native markdown syntax would look like. Even for column by column styling, with custom code blocks this syntax is possible:

| I           | ----   | have     | meta       | data  | too! |
| ----------- | ----   | -: ~ .c2 | ---------- | ----- | ---- |
| group 1     | - ~.c1 | foo      | bar        | baz   | test |
| group 2     | ------ | 1        | ^          | 3     | 4    |

However, in native tables this syntax would not render properly since Obsidian would not recognize -: ~ .c2 as valid table syntax.

This is the struggle with adding more styling features to native tables: I am not sure how to design the syntax. If you have any suggestions on how full table styling could be implemented without the code blocks, I would love to hear it!

Currently, I am working on adding any support for native tables with the "new" table editor since I have been slacking ever since Obsidian's table editor got released which broke the plugin's native table support, but if you have any suggestions I might work on native table styling in the future.
