Whitespace inside Tables lost in Textile [message #629977]

Hello,

First of all let me thank you for the wonderful little addon to Mylyn - the WikiText. I had a task of creating a model based Wiki and WikiText greatly simplified this for me with its different readers and writers. Thanks a lot.

Now to a small issue Smile

If I have a table as below, TextileLanguage does not retain whitespaces in front inside cells.

|_. name |_. age |_. sex |
| joan | 24 | f |
| archie | 29 | m |
| bella | 45 | f |

would be read as

|_. name |_. age |_. sex |
|joan |24 |f |
|archie |29 |m |
|bella |45 |f |

The header cells however retains the spaces. Is this a wrong behavior?

Regards,
Nirmal

Nirmal,

I'm glad that WikiText is working out for you! Great to hear that it's
now being used to power your wiki.

The WikiText implementation of Textile does indeed drop leading/trailing
whitespace for table cell content. Is this a problem for you? In my
experience browsers tend to ignore whitespace following <td> or <th>
cells anyways.

BTW, you can try out your Textile syntax using the original PHP
(reference) implementation of Textile here:
http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ In general, WikiText tries to
emulate the same behaviour as the PHP implementation wherever possible.

Regards,

David

Hello David,

This is not a big problem for me but a round trip using the framework I described here http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=189868& amp;start=0&S=81fb0dab1aab44deb072f72e09c38895#msg_num_3 delivers a diff only w.r.t space inside table cells. I checked with http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ and it seems to preserve spaces.

|_.  name |_.  age |_.  sex |
| joan | 24 | f |
| archie | 29 | m |
| bella | 45 | f |

is delivered by http://textile.thresholdstate.com/ as

 	<table>
		<tr>
			<th> name </th>
			<th> age </th>
			<th> sex </th>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td> joan </td>
			<td> 24 </td>
			<td> f </td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td> archie </td>
			<td> 29 </td>
			<td> m </td>
		</tr>
		<tr>
			<td> bella </td>
			<td> 45 </td>
			<td> f </td>
		</tr>
	</table>

Wikitext seems to retain spaces after text but not the space before text.

Regards,
Nirmal
