Grid Tables
I'd like to create a Pandoc Grid Table with lists in cells. I have the following user settings:
"table_editor_syntax": "Pandoc",
"table_editor_border_style": "grid",
"table_editor_keep_space_left": true,
Can you give me a sense of how Table Editor should behave differently with these user settings versus the default settings? An example would be awesome. Thanks.
Pandoc alredy have border style "grid". Property "table_editor_keep_space_left" must control leading space from a data in a column. Properties "table_editor_border_style", "table_editor_keep_space_left" must override "Pandoc" setting "table_editor_keep_space_left": false. But I observed this doesn't work. Also it looks "table_editor_keep_space_left" was broken.
Pandoc grid tables should always start with +------+-------+!
When specifying "table_editor_syntax": "Pandoc", (see Pandoc grid tables)
and following the Usage in the Readme but with |= double hline:
| Name | Phone |
|=
it will expand to:
| Name | Phone |
+======+=======+
| | |
But it should expand to:
+------+-------+
| Name | Phone |
+======+=======+
| | |
To get the first line: +------+-------+,
you go above the line: | Name | Phone |
and type: |- then hitting enter like this:
|-
| Name | Phone |
+======+=======+
| | |
Then it will autocomplete to +------+-------+
You have to do the |- for every new row (because the normal way of creating new rows are for multiline) . Maybe there should be another keyboard shortcut or something. But this belongs to another issue...
This also should answer @MarkCubb question, because
When specifying "table_editor_syntax": "Simple", (which is the default)
it will expand to
| Name | Phone |
|------|-------|
| | |
Now the option "table_editor_border_style": "grid",
belongs only to Simple syntax which will exchange the header form to:
| Name | Phone |
+------+-------+
| | |
which is correct for Simple syntax but not for Pandoc syntax (see above).
So Pandoc grid tables should always start with +------+-------+!
