[Bug Report] Table Body Background Color Not Render

Table Body Background Color Not Render

The markdown viewer doesn't render table background color, so I can't set even and odd rows with different background colors.

If I apply the Github Style Markdown CSS, the comparison result is shown below. The left one is the expected table which is the same markdown file exported as html. The right one is what is shown in the markdown viewer. Notice that even number rows has a different color:

To make it more clear, I use the following CSS, and then the comparison result is following. the Left is the same table exported as html, and the Right is what is shown in the markdown viewer:

table {border-collapse: collapse;
    width: 100%;
    border-radius: .8em;
    overflow: hidden;}
th, td {text-align: left;
    padding: 8px;}
tr:nth-child(odd){background-color: #abcdef}
th {background-color: #4CAF50;
    color: white;}
td {color: purple;}

Environment

• Notepad++ 7.5.6 (64-bit)
• MarkdownViewer++ 0.8.2
• Windows 10 (64-bit)

MarkdownViewer uses HTML-Renderer to render HTML code but it lacks support for some css features (:nth-child selector is probably one of them).

I have an experimental and a-little-buggy fork here:

https://github.com/monoblaine/MarkdownViewerPlusPlus/tree/0.8.1

I've ditched HTML-Renderer and used the new Microsoft Edge WebView component to render html. So it supports modern html and css features.

But,

• The webView component has problems with external JavaScript calls, so in order to make scroll-sync work I have to re-render the html each time a scroll event fires, which is of course a performance killer.
• If you open an external file in Notepad++ while the html viewer is open, some weird exception pop-ups appear.
