Add-ons: Using HTML Tables with SirNot's Html Formatter 1.5

    I was wondering if anyone had an idea why I can't seem to post properly formatted html tables within Vanilla.

    I'm using SirNot's HTML formatter and I've gone through the code but I can't seem to find any cause.

    I've gone in to the CSS and edited the "CommentBody" div so that the text within a table won't be blue, but it seems as though there is some kind of positioning problem. The example below results in a different output, but there is still a problem.

    (EDIT: In the post preview, it showed the table as though it had large padding values. What you see below is what I see.)

    On my site, it moves the table down approximately the same distance as the height of the table, leaving a large gap between it and the last line of text. Does this have to do with the use of the line-height property used in the Vanilla default CSS?

    (EDIT2: I hadn't noticed this before but it seems as though it's adding a lot of br tags in the table.)

    Example:














































    100 200 300
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600
    400 500 600

    The HtmlFormatter replaces hard-returns with <br /> tags. So, you're actually getting <table><br /><tr><br /><td>my content</td><br /><tr><br /></table>

    Which causes all of that white space.

    If you just write your table with no hard return between tags, it will format properly without any extra white space.

    I imagine he did it this way because NOT putting the br's in there when writing a table would be kind of processor intensive, and also it's a pain in the butt to code that.

    Thank you very much.

    So it should be like this:

    100200300
    100200300
    100200300
    100200300
    400500600
    400500600
    400500600
    400500600

    That's actually an easily editable option within the file itself, though, so if you'd rather it not change newlines to line-breaks all you have to do is change the 1 in define('HTML_CONVERT_NEWLINES', 1);to 0.

    And by the way mark, I've made some updates to that (including a system which cleans up markup), if you want to try it out/update it.
