Also the filterable table is changing the styling of your current table.
I think they should be listed as separate types of tables.

Hi devs,
I’ve noticed that users often try to make simple tables
filterable/sortable. And LT are too complex for simple tables.
Actually we do implement the feature already in xwiki-platform
(tablefilterNsort.js.js + icons) but we don’t make it easy for users to
use
it.
Right now a user has to know the magic incantation. They can find the doc
here:
* http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/
XWikiSyntax?syntax=2.1&
section=Tables&xpage=print
* http://snippets.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Table+Sorter
What I’d like to propose is to
1/ Include a new core macro in xwiki-platform that would allow to
transformation a table into a sortable/filterable table, as it’s done by
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Make+
All+Wiki+Tables+Sortable+Macro:
{{table [sort="true|false" filter="true|false” oddEven=“true|false”}}
|=heading1|=heading2
|cell1|cell2
{{/table}}}
2/ In the CKEditor UI when inserting a table,
offer several checkboxes
for
Sortable, Filterable, OddEven and have the
WYSIWYG editor insert this
table
macro when checked.
You forget that macro output is not editable directly inside the WYSIWYG
editor text area. And it cannot be editable as long as the output is the
result of some transformation of the macro content. It could be editable if
the macro only applies some CSS styling and doesn't perform any
transformation on the XDOM/DOM structure. Adding support for this
particular type of macros would be nice but it's not trivial and poses some
problems such as nested macros. It would require considerable changes in
the way macros are implemented inside the WYSIWYG editor.
Thanks,
Marius
My rationale for wanting to include it is because
I consider this to be a
basic use case (core use case) that would benefit from being by default
in
any flavor of XWiki.
WDYT?
Note that if we should not agree to have it by default then it also
doesn’t make sense to have tablefilterNsort.js in xwiki-platform IMO.
Thanks
