Table rendering, spurious <tr>

[Bjoern]

Hi all,

There's an example for a table here:
http://www.sciencemedianetwork.org/wiki/Collection/tables

When this table is printed, spurious <tr> are inserted.

It has quite a large cell, which may be something to do with this
problem: When the cells are more reasonably sized, the problem doesn't
occur.

Would be great if somebody could have a look at this!

Your assumption is correct. The "treecleaner" module tries to identify
problematic markup/nodes and converts them to something less problematic.

If you run mw-render with the debug option (when rendering PDFs) the
reports from the treecleaner module are printed:

mw-render -w rl -o test.pdf -c http://www.sciencemedianetwork.org/wiki_source -W debug 'Collection/tables'

output:

...
('transformSingleColTables', "'replaced single col table with div. div children:' [Node, Paragraph tagname='p', Div '': 7 children]")

('splitBigTableCells', "'replacing child' Row tagname='tr' [Row tagname='tr', Row tagname='tr', Row tagname='tr']")

...

The output is used for debugging purposes.

Regards,
Volker

I forgot to say that there was a bug concerning the cell borders.
Borders between the added rows are now suppressed - therefore the
rendered table should resemble the mediawiki result better. This was
done with
http://code.pediapress.com/git/?p=mwlib;a=commit;h=db4671588dd365460d6a1307fb2f3bff806dc285

Hi Volker,

thanks for fixing the bug with the extra cell borders - that was
exactly what I was after!!

I guess this will go live on the render server in a few days?

Thanks again!

Hi Björn,
yes, we'll update the software in the next few days.
