Entrepreneurship - Heavy-text table header and title row formatting #3973

Closed mwest-WWprod closed 4 years ago

mwest-WWprod commented 4 years ago

GLOBAL Entrepreneurship

Header rows and titles in heavy-text tables are treated with the same formatting, and this could confuse student users - for instance, if we have a table with a title, but without a header row (see second example below), the title can be mistaken for a header row. Something like a light screen behind the title, for example, or similar treatment may resolve this. The Wisewire content team does not have a preference as to resolution.

Another side effect of the header rows being formatted as bold text, is that when we format normal table content as bold, such as in the below example, it could be confusing to users. That might entail differentiating the header row treatment, so that these elements can be readily discerned.

@mwest-WWprod our proposal here is to apply a light grey shading behind the header row. This would be consistent with other tables where the header row is shaded (although those are shaded with a blue instead of a grey). Please let us know if you have any concerns/additional feedback about this.

Same specs as the other tables with the blue however, instead of blue it should be #F2F2F2.

confirmed this will not impact other titles

The non-title part of the text-heavy table now has a light grey background to improve readability.
