Problem with table display

[fmigneault]

The markdown display of tables doesn't seem to be recognized as expected.

Here is an example of the markdown and corresponding plugin output:

And here the resulting (expected) output viewed online (bitbucket).

I'm using version 0.7 strait from the Notepad++ Plugin Manager.

Hi @KenjiKyo

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately, your example pipe-table is not part of the original CommonMark specification (http://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/). The "normal" CommonMark only supports HTML Tables and no pipe-tables. Sorry.

I will have a look to extend the MarkdownViewer++ with either https://github.com/AMDL/CommonMark.NET/tree/pipe-tables or https://github.com/lunet-io/markdig to support this in one of the next versions.

Cheers

Hi @KenjiKyo

I pushed a branch https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus/tree/0.7.5 with Markdig instead of CommonMark.Net. It supports pipe-tables (http://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-pipe_tables).

I haven't tested it thoroughly but you can check it out and build yourself one library.

I will dig deeper into everything when I have more time and make an official release if it works out.

Cheers

Sorry for taking so long to come back around for this issue. I will give a try to this branch if I can find some time on my side too. Thank you for trying to support it. I wasn't aware that it wasn't part of the standard specification.

Hi,

I've found some time to compile the source code and test it out. I can confirm that version 0.8.0 is working for Notepad++ 7.3.2 (32/64-bit) on Windows 10 x64.

It currently displays as in this image:

Is it due to Markdig limitation that the table lines are not showing? In the meantime, this fix is great, but the table is not really "displayed" without the row/column separations. Is it possible to easily adapt the code to allow this?

Thank you

Hi @KenjiKyo

As the generated source should feature normal table syntax, you could use the custom CSS option to add your own styling of the table, i.e. table lines.

I am sorry I don't get that, but what do you mean by "...the table is not really "displayed" without the row/column separations." Then I will have a look.

Cheers

Hi @nea

I was referring to the lines separators for rows and/or columns, but I believe this is related to the CSS option you mentioned just before. How could I edit this CSS styling to display within notepad++?

Thank you

Hi @KenjiKyo

First thing I would check is to go to the Options https://github.com/nea/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus#options and add a simple 1px border like https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp.

If this doesn't work let me know. I don't have that much time atm but will get to it later on.

Cheers

Hi @nea

This did the trick. Thank you for your help.

When are you planning a release of this 0.8.0 version? Need this feature :)

Hey @svytas

I am currently on a different work-release, which take up the rest of my month (and my previous weeks). I am sorry about that.

But it is "supposed" to be released by the end of August, when I will have time to cater to this next release again.

Sorry Savas

I failed to build a working version using VS 2015 so … any change we see a release soon?

Hello, if there is still issues, may be you can provide the table rendering as an optional experimental feature. Actually, Swagger 3 editor have not a perfect implementation, but there is workaround ( unicode escape... )

thank you

Has this function any hope of a release?

[avkhitry]

Hi there, hope to find you well. Sooo want to have this feature implemented too ))

[einaruk]

Hello, the reason I installed your plugin was to be able to create tables with pipe notation. I see it is missing. Is there a plan to put this feature in next release? Thanks for the effort...

Hi everyone

I just released a new version 0.8.0.

I changed the Markdown renderer to Markdig which supports pipe and grid tables

• https://github.com/lunet-io/markdig/blob/master/src/Markdig.Tests/Specs/PipeTableSpecs.md
• https://github.com/lunet-io/markdig/blob/master/src/Markdig.Tests/Specs/GridTableSpecs.md

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Works like a charm for the tables!

Just great! Added this CSS in Options / HTML /Custom CSS to display borders:

table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}
tr, td, th {
    border: 1px solid #AAA;
    padding: 4px;
}
