Using TML in table cells

A TWiki table has a line-oriented markup, e.g. normally it is not possible to use other line-oriented TML, such as bullets or nested tables.

It is possible to introduce newlines in a table cell if the cell is enclosed in double-angle brackets, such as |>> TML <<|. Example:

You write:
| *A1* | *B1* | *C1* | *D1* |
| A2 |>> B2
   * Bullet
   * list
   * is
   * possible
<<|>> C2
  | *C2.1* | *C2.2* |
  | Embedded | table |
  | possible | too |
end C2
<<| D2 |
| A3 | B3 | C3 | D3 |
        You get:
A1 B1 C1 D1
A2 B2
  • Bullet
  • list
  • is
  • possible

C2
C2.1 C2.2
Embedded table
possible too
end C2
D2
A3 B3 C3 D3
 

Row spans

Table cells with a single caret indicate follow-up rows of multi-row spans. For example,

Table cells with a single caret indicate follow-up rows of multi-row spans. Example:

You write:
 
| One One | One Two | One Three |
| ^ | Two Two | Two Three |

30 Sep 2008 1.035 Fix sorting of attachment date column.
03 Aug 2008 1.034 TWiki 4.2.1 release version
20 Mar 2008 1.033 TWikibug:Item5387: allow rowspanned columns to contain HTML tags; otherwise it is impossible to add an invisible anchor to a rowspanned cell
16 Dec 2007 1.030: Kenneth Lavrsen: Fixed the problem of tables being sorted by by TablePlugin while the table is being edited by plugins such as EditTablePlugin. This required adding a new attribute disableallsort so plugins such as EditTablePlugin can temporarily disable all sorting for a table. Additionally the CGI variable (URL parameter or hidden formfield) sort can be set to "off" which disables all header sorting in the topic. This is used by plugins such as EditTablePlugin to disable the sorting by clicking header fields during editing of tables. Ref: TWikibug:Item5135 and TWikibug:Item2690.
03 Dec 2007 Arthur Clemens: Fixed rendering and order of html elements thead, tfoot and tbody; corrected id parameter.
24 Nov 2007 Arthur Clemens: Fixed sorting of columns with only icons; also removed TWiki formatting before sorting.
06 Oct 2007 15180: PTh: Added VarTABLE to have it listed in TWikiVariables

23 May 2007 1.021: Michael Daum: Fixed css attribute priority to cooperate nicely with skin themes.
27 Dec 2006 1.020: Kenneth Lavrsen: Fixed initsort so all tables can be initsorted and not only the first. When you sort a table by clicking on the header of a column the table gets sorted accordingly. When you click the header of another table the previously sorted table goes back being sorted as specified by initsort.
13 Dec 2006 1.019: Arthur Clemens: Prevent sorting of columns that do no exist.
02 Dec 2006 1.018: Arthur Clemens: Data rows now start with first datacolor and databgcolor.

24 Nov 2006 1.016: Arthur Clemens: Added new attribute cellborder.
25 Oct 2006 1.015: Arthur Clemens: Added support for background colors of sorted column. Columns can be unsorted - sorting order is now: sort ascending, sort descending, unsort. Added attributes headervalign and datavalign.
16 Aug 2006 Michael Daum: Added CSS support for even/odd table rows
13 Dec 2005 Arthur Clemens: Added support for id, summary and caption
05 Mar 2005 1.014: Crawford Currie eliminated deprecated handlers for Dakar
01 Aug 2004 Arthur Clemens: Added CSS support for first column and ascending/descending table headers

17 Dec 2002 PTh: Removed individual table Plugin settings; added TABLEATTRIBUTES Plugins setting and TABLEATTRIBUTES preferences setting
15 Dec 2002 PTh: Added headerrows and footerrows params (TWiki:Main/DarrylGreen, TWiki:Main/WoutMertens); added tablewidth and columnwidths params (TWiki:Main/ThorstenSommermann)
09 Dec 2002 PTh: Added headercolor and datacolor parameters
05 Jun 2002 PTh: Added "none" value to databg parameter (suggested by TWiki:Main/TaitCyrus); fixed sorting by stripping HTML tags, removing links and making sort ignore case (suggested by TWiki:Main/ShawnBradford)
13 Mar 2002 PTh: Added TWiki:Main/ShawnBradford 's initsort and initdirection
12 Mar 2002 PTh: Added valign, headeralign and dataalign; fixed bug of swapped cellpadding/cellspacing; fixed warning of uninitialized value

20 Mar 2008 1.033 TWikibug:Item5387: allow rowspanned columns to contain HTML tags; otherwise it is impossible to add an invisible anchor to a rowspanned cell
16 Dec 2007 1.030: Kenneth Lavrsen: Fixed the problem of tables being sorted by by TablePlugin while the table is being edited by plugins such as EditTablePlugin. This required adding a new attribute disableallsort so plugins such as EditTablePlugin can temporarily disable all sorting for a table. Additionally the CGI variable (URL parameter or hidden formfield) sort can be set to "off" which disables all header sorting in the topic. This is used by plugins such as EditTablePlugin to disable the sorting by clicking header fields during editing of tables. Ref: TWikibug:Item5135 and TWikibug:Item2690.

The setting disableallsort is normally not used as a TABLE or TABLEATTRIBUTES setting. Plugins such as EditTablePlugin dynamically sets disableallsort to disable sorting while editing a table. For this to work it is important that EditTablePlugin runs before TablePlugin, which is the default. The setting sort can be overwritten by a URL parameter or hidden formfield of the same name. Plugins such as EditTablePlugin can use this to disable table header sorting while in edit mode.

Use of %TABLE{...}%

TablePlugin and CSS

Information for programmers.

TablePlugin implements the following precedence:

  • the TABLEATTRIBUTE settings only write html styling, no CSS
  • the TABLEATTRIBUTE settings can be overridden by a skin's CSS
  • the TABLE tag attributes are converted to CSS styling, written in the head; these override any skin's CSS

CSS written by TablePlugin

.twikiTable The table
.twikiSortedCol A sorted column
.twikiSortedAscendingCol Sorted column, ascending
.twikiSortedDescendingCol Sorted column, descending
.tableSortIcon The sort icon holder (span)
.twikiFirstCol The first column
.twikiTableEven Even numbered rows
.twikiTableOdd Odd numbered rows
.twikiTableCol + column number Unique column identifier, for instance: twikiTableCol0
.twikiTableRow + type + row number Unique row identifier, for instance: twikiTableRowdataBg0

06 Oct 2007 15180: PTh: Added VarTABLE to have it listed in TWikiVariables
27 Jun 2007 1.024 - 1.027 Various small bug fixes.
24 Jun 2007 1.023: Arthur Clemens: Inline styles are now written to the head; updated default sort icons (from TWikiDocGraphics).
23 Jun 2007 1.022: Arthur Clemens: Fixed styling of param tablerules on Internet Explorer.
23 May 2007 1.021: Michael Daum: Fixed css attribute priority to cooperate nicely with skin themes.
 
27 Dec 2006 1.020: Kenneth Lavrsen: Fixed initsort so all tables can be initsorted and not only the first. When you sort a table by clicking on the header of a column the table gets sorted accordingly. When you click the header of another table the previously sorted table goes back being sorted as specified by initsort.
13 Dec 2006 1.019: Arthur Clemens: Prevent sorting of columns that do no exist.
02 Dec 2006 1.018: Arthur Clemens: Data rows now start with first datacolor and databgcolor.

27 Dec 2006 1.020: Kenneth Lavrsen: Fixed initsort so all tables can be initsorted and not only the first. When you sort a table by clicking on the header of a column the table gets sorted accordingly. When you click the header of another table the previously sorted table goes back being sorted as specified by initsort.

24 Nov 2006 1.016: Arthur Clemens: Added new attribute cellborder.
25 Oct 2006 1.015: Arthur Clemens: Added support for background colors of sorted column. Columns can be unsorted - sorting order is now: sort ascending, sort descending, unsort. Added attributes headervalign and datavalign.
16 Aug 2006 Michael Daum: Added CSS support for even/odd table rows
13 Dec 2005 Arthur Clemens: Added support for id, summary and caption

    • MMM is Jan, Feb, etc
  • number is digits, with optional decimal point
  • otherwise treated as text
