Sarat Pediredla commented on DISPL-472:
---------------------------------------

I know this issue has been previously closed as the argument presented was that 
there was no need to change the markup for table, tr, td etc etc.

However, we have reached a situation where we want to use the functionality of 
displaytag but we do not want to be restricted to table based markup. We need a 
more semantic approach like <div> <ul> <li> etc. and need displaytag to be 
flexible. I think being able to change the markup rendered for rows and columns 
will enable us to use displaytag in many circumstances than just plain data 
tables.

Obviously, people who do not want to change this information wont have to add 
anything to .properties but people who want to change this will have the 
benefit of customising the XHTML.

> Reading the inner-workings of display-tag library i found that all HTML tags 
> are "stored" as static final String's, this limiting the flexibility of HTML 
> code to be displayed.
> I think it will be better if all HTML tags/keywords/etc are stored in a 
> .properties file. This will allow any user tu customize table generation to 
> it's own needs. 
> For example, i couldn't find a way to render a table where the rows are 
> scrollable and the header isnt. (i dont want scrollbars for the whole page, 
> just for the rows).
> Maybe there is just another way to make table writing more customizable? 
> (without modifying displayTags code, of course)
