To be uninstalled before updating to the latest Hogfather release (if not you get a blank page) but surprisingly by reinstalling it afterwards, it works well (tested on 2 wikis) with no more error log on web server.

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

A background color is introduced by @ and ended by :.
You can use all names and color codes from HTML.
If you don't specify a color, yellow is used.
See examples below:

This code :

^  Header 1         ^  Header 2  ^  Header 3        ^
|  @lightgreen:**Span**         ||                  |
|  @#6495ed:Ligne 1 |  Oui       |  Oui, à valider  |
|  Ligne 2          |  Oui       |  @orange: Oui    |
|  @:Ligne 3        |  Oui       | @red:Non         |

looks like :

This one :

|  @palegreen:Validé  |  @orange:À valider  |  @red:Non fonctionnel  |

looks like :

Coloured table of contents (also uses tablewidth plugin and columns plugin.) (added by MJ)

• Uses HTML color codes and names HTML Color Code Chart
• Works with other table formatting (alignment, bold, …)

• Doesn't work with header lines (^ character), so just don't use them if you want a specific color for these lines
• May not work with plugins introducing a different syntax than the DokuWiki one for tables
• If “@…:” pattern is found out of a table, it might disable other syntax inside it (not sure about that).

It's a hack that edit previously formatted text :

• detect if in a table by looking for a <td…> markup in the previously formatted text ($renderer→doc) ;
• edit the formatted text and add bgcolor= inside the previous <td> markup ;
• if not in a table : add the text in the formatted text as is.

Problem description and solution: https://github.com/dr4Ke/cellbg/pull/17

@: syntax don't work with DokuWiki on Debian lenny : 0.0.20080505-4+lenny1
Bug : https://github.com/dr4Ke/cellbg/issues/issue/1

Automatic installation on 20080505 fails with :

The plugin manager was unable to decompress the downloaded file. This maybe as a result of a bad download, in which case you should try again; or the compression format may be unknown, in which case you will need to download and install the plugin manually.

Manual installation works fine. Bug : https://github.com/dr4Ke/cellbg/issues/issue/2

– No conflict with Sortablejs plugin v. 2016-05-26. (php 5.3.5, Windows, DW Release 2016-06-26a “Elenor of Tsort” — Florin C. 2019-03-23 19:30

– Please apply the patch from Richard MICHALOWICZ below. Otherwise the plugin bureaucracy will be broken under 2013-12-08 „Binky“. – Alois Hockenschlohe (2014/01/16)

In order to solve the problem related with the 2013-05-10a “Weatherwax” (ReferenceError: addInitEvent is not defined) you must change in the file <dokuwiki_install_dir>/lib/plugins/cellbg/script.js the last line as this:

• old line: addInitEvent(plugin_cellbg_toolbar_picker);
  
• new line: jQuery(plugin_cellbg_toolbar_picker);
  

That solved the Error and the compatibility between cellbg and the new Jquery motor is OK.
