It will clip table cells that extend beyond their section. * 2. It will add empty table cells to the rows that are narrower than the widest table row. * * ## Clipping overlapping table cells * * Such situation may occur when pasting a table (or a part of a table) to the editor from external sources. * * For example, see the following table which has a cell (FOO) with the rowspan attribute (2): * * ```xml * * * FOO * BAR * * * BAZ * XYZ * *
* ``` * * It will be rendered in the view as: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
FOOBAR
BAZXYZ
* ``` * * In the above example the table will be rendered as a table with two rows: one in the header and second one in the body. * The table cell (FOO) cannot span over multiple rows as it would extend from the header to the body section. * The `rowspan` attribute must be changed to (1). The value (1) is the default value of the `rowspan` attribute * so the `rowspan` attribute will be removed from the model. * * The table cell with BAZ in the content will be in the first column of the table. * * ## Adding missing table cells * * The table post-fixer will insert empty table cells to equalize table row sizes (the number of columns). * The size of a table row is calculated by counting column spans of table cells, both horizontal (from the same row) and * vertical (from the rows above). * * In the above example, the table row in the body section of the table is narrower then the row from the header: it has two cells * with the default colspan (1). The header row has one cell with colspan (1) and the second with colspan (2). * The table cell (FOO) does not extend beyond the head section (and as such will be fixed in the first step of this post-fixer). * The post-fixer will add a missing table cell to the row in the body section of the table. * * The table from the above example will be fixed and rendered to the view as below: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
FOOBAR
BAZXYZ
* ``` * * ## Collaboration and undo - Expectations vs post-fixer results * * The table post-fixer only ensures proper structure without a deeper analysis of the nature of the change. As such, it might lead * to a structure which was not intended by the user. In particular, it will also fix undo steps (in conjunction with collaboration) * in which the editor content might not return to the original state. * * This will usually happen when one or more users change the size of the table. * * As an example see the table below: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * *
1112
2122
* ``` * * and the user actions: * * 1. Both users have a table with two rows and two columns. * 2. User A adds a column at the end of the table. This will insert empty table cells to two rows. * 3. User B adds a row at the end of the table. This will insert a row with two empty table cells. * 4. Both users will have a table as below: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1112(empty, inserted by A)
2122(empty, inserted by A)
(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by B)
* ``` * * The last row is shorter then others so the table post-fixer will add an empty row to the last row: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1112(empty, inserted by A)
2122(empty, inserted by A)
(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by the post-fixer)
* ``` * * Unfortunately undo does not know the nature of the changes and depending on which user applies the post-fixer changes, undoing them * might lead to a broken table. If User B undoes inserting the column to the table, the undo engine will undo only the operations of * inserting empty cells to rows from the initial table state (row 1 and 2) but the cell in the post-fixed row will remain: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1112
2122
(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by a post-fixer)
* ``` * * After undo, the table post-fixer will detect that two rows are shorter than others and will fix the table to: * * ```xml * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
1112(empty, inserted by a post-fixer after undo)
2122(empty, inserted by a post-fixer after undo)
(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by B)(empty, inserted by a post-fixer)
