Description: To facilititate customistion using CSS could the table tag generated for simple tables markup please have a class added to it. eg

 <table class="wikisimpletable"

This will allow easy customisation fo simple tables without affecting complex tables and other tables generated by PmWiki.

You can already do this. Just put in

 ||class=wikisimpletable

I think you can use any attributes.

Here is an example:

|| class=wikisimpletable border=1
cellspacing=0 width=50%
||! alpha ||! beta ||! gamma ||! delta
||! epsilon ||
||  zeta  ||  eta  ||  theta ||  iota 
||  kappa   ||

thanks, but I don't want all my wiki users to have to know and remember how to do this, I want to do it for them

Not only can an author specify a class for the table, but the wiki administrator can also set default styles for simple tables by changing the setting of $BlockMarkups['table'] in local/config.php:

    $BlockMarkups['table'] = '<table width="50%" class="wikisimpletable">';

--Pm

tried this, but it did not work - in config.php

 $BlockMarkups['table'] = '<table class="wikisimpletable">';

----

||test||

----

<hr />
<div class='vspace'></div><<tr ><td >test</td></tr>
a
<div class='vspace'></div><hr />

it also appears this change may affect all tables generated, not just those created from simple table markup

Thanks. But it would be simpler, and a straightforward change to make this small change available to all PmWiki administrators. Please please please add the CSS hook for simple tables. --Simon
