<table> tag not working properly

[maauzer]

I'm currently experimenting with the strata plugin. Data blocks and queries inside the <list> tag are working fine. However it seems that the <table> tag is not working properly. The text inside <table></table> is left as is in the final render version.

Am I missing something ? Or is strata conflicting with some other plugin ?

Dokuwiki version: 2017-02-19 “Frusterick Manners” Plugins installed that might conflict : wrap, styling, mathjax, filelis, ckg edit, cell background, caption

Hi! Nice to hear that you are interested in the strata plugin.

The most common thing that happens is that the table syntax between < and > is not recognized by strata, which will then leave the whole <table ...> block alone. You could try to simplify the fields in your opening tag, or use the alternative notation of using a fields group instead of putting the selected fields in your opening tag (https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:strata:reference_guide#variable_projection):

<table>
fields {
  ?name: Full Name
  ?address
}
-- Rest of query
</table>

instead of

<table ?name "Full Name" ?address>
-- Rest of query
</table>

I think that github did something strange with your example. If you want us to have a look at your example, could you edit your post so it shows up?

(Note: if you surround the example with ``` it will be shown as a code block, like my examples above.)

Thanks for you quick reply. Edited my original post to show the actual tags. For now I tried a very simple example (based on the quick reference guide) as follows :

Full Name: Jane Maria Doe
Birthday [date]: 1982-7-23
</data>

<data person>
Full Name: Jimmy Smith
Birthday [date]: 1990-6-15
</data>

<data person>
Full Name: Joe Borg
Birthday [date]: 1951-12-5
</data>

<data person>
Full Name: Marie Claire Samtec
Birthday [date]: 2001-2-1
</data>

<table ?p "Person" ?b "Birthday">
?p is a: person
?p Birthday [date]: ?b
?b < 1990-1-1
</table>

This is the result preview of the code

Please note that with <list> </list> the results show up. Once again thanks for your help and apologies for my delay.

Hi there,

I tried your example in a test wiki, and what you do should work!

Since it does not for you, I suspect that one of the other plugins is conflicting. You can determine which pluygin causes the problem by disabling them one-by-one and retrying (i.e., editting a small thing and saving the page with the <table>) after every disabled plugin.

After looking into the plugins you have active, I think that the best one to test for first is ckgedit... (By the way, have you tried ckgedit's multi-line plugin support?)

Please, let us know what you discovered, so others can learn from you!

Tried to weed out the conflicting plugin ....and finally managed to find out the culprit. Its the caption plugin by Till Biskup : https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:caption

Good catch!

(I have updated the strata plugin page with this information)
