The third trial to implement extended (MediaWiki-style) table syntax in DokuWiki.

What“s New / Difference from exttab2:

• The plugin now completely writes its own plugin calls (instruction list) in the handle processing stage before render stage. In contrast to earlier versions, this change ensures the plugin to work better with DokuWiki's own EOL & paragraph handling and serves to avoid potential invalid html rendering.
• html of each exttab is enclosed in the wrapper block (div.exttab) to allow flexible selector usage in the CSS.

Install the plugin through the Extension Manager or Plugin Manager using the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to plugin installation instructions.

The markup for the extended table is explained well at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables

Here is an example usage of extended table syntax.

Wiki source {| |+//Extended Table Example// ! style="width: 12em;"| A1 Header ! style="width: 10em;"| B1 Header |- style="background-color: MistyRose;" | {{ wiki:dokuwiki-128.png?50&nolink}} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. | B2 Data * //italic// * ''monospace'' * [[:start|page link]] **ATTENTION:**\\ Needs an extra empty line after the end of whole table! |}

html output (image)

The class exttable is available as a part of selectors in your CSS file. The HTML of extended table enclosed between <div class="exttable"> and </div>. Following CSS rule-set defined in style.css of the plugin directory.

• reducing indent width of list block in cells:

  .exttable ol, .exttable ul { padding-left: 0em; }

• reducing bottom and left margin of list block in cells:

  .exttable ol, .exttable ul { margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 1em; }

• suppress extra line spacing after paragraph in cells:

  .exttable p { margin-bottom: 0; }

When using vector template for DokuWiki, tables won't have borders around the cells. To add a border, using the default way of vector template customization by altering /dokuwiki/lib/tpl/vector/user/screen.css (NOT /dokuwiki/lib/tpl/vector/styles/screen.css), insert following:

.exttable td,
.exttable th {
   border: 1px solid __border__;
}

This 3rd trial to implement exttab has based on the 2nd version (exttab2, 2010-08-28) by disorder chang with XSS vulnerability fix by Ashish Myles. The first version (exttab1, 2006-10-19) was released by Werner Flamme. Thanks for their earlier development and sharing source code.

This plugin is only a trial to implement MediaWiki-like extended table syntax, and table output (html) may differ from those of MediaWiki.

Links do not work if they contain an embedded vertical bar, like in [[path:to:page|Oh that page!]]. - Daumling

changing line 70 of file syntax.php might also be a fix.

        $attrs = '[^\n\{\|\!\[]+'; // match pattern for attributes

Thanks for this patch, merged into the plugin release 2014-11-20.

<br/> to create line breaks within cells does not work. - Silverfire

please use \\ – two backslashes followed by a whitespace or the end of line.
