Issues with table layouts
Florian Cauvin
I always have some kind of problems with elaborate table layouts
(columns and row spans). Either there are some glitches in the way
tiddlywiki handle tables, or either I'm trying to create too complex
layouts, or maybe I haven't understood how tables work.
Here are a few examples that puzzle me, you can try those examples in TW:
the 2x2 section is displayed as I expect here
|!one|!two|!three|
|>| 2x2 |1|
|>|~|1|
But when I try to move the 2x2 section on the "right" of the array,
problems start to appear:
what should I do?
|!one|!two|!three|
|1|>| 2x2 |
|1|>|~|
Then when I add a row to the previous example, a "fourth column"
mysteriously appears:
|!one|!two|!three|
|1|>| 2x2 |
|1|>|~|
|~|x|y|
Another example. This table displays only two rows instead of three
|!one|!two|!three|!four|
| 1x2 |>| 2x1 |a|
|~|b|c|d|
|e|~|~|~|
And yet, when I add one more value in the last row, the table now
displays correctly
|!one|!two|!three|!four|
| 1x2?? |>| 2x1 |a|
|~|b|c|d|
|e|~|f|~|
Help appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I'm trying to get an answer to a post I created 10 days ago concerning tables
Are those there are some issues with the way TW handles tables?
Or am I trying to do too complex things?
Or maybe I don't really understand what colspan and rowspan are all about?

believe there are known limitations with TiddlyWIki's table handling.
I think complex tables are best expressed using inline <html><table>
etc.
If you need to wikify the cell contents, Eric has a super-powered
version of inline html that does wikifying too: tiddlytools.com

I think you've uncovered a bug; at the moment, the table formatter
doesn't allow the vertical and horizontal collapses to be combined in
that way. I've added a ticket for this problem here:
