Question: Style in a Table cell

[Clare]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the style to fill the whole cell rather than just highlight the word in the cell. Any advice?

[David Gifford]

If you mean something like color background for individual cells, no there is not currently a way to do that as there was in TiddlyWiki classic. There are some people working on a new table syntax. Perhaps that will allow individual cell CSS. The only current alternative I know of is using an html table.

[Eric Shulman]

Although there isn't a syntax to directly specify background colors for individual table cells, you can re-purpose the table header syntax -- "!" -- to accomplish something similar:

<style> .mytable th { background:lightblue; } </style>

|mytable|k

|!foo|bar|

|mumble|frotz|

The "foo" cell in the above example will have a lightblue background.

enjoy,

Thanks Eric, it worked. Had a brief issue where I put |mytable||k accidently instead of |mytable|k and it was giving me the default grey instead of the color but I figured out my oopsy.
