--- Comment #28 from Michael Zajac <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Gabriel Wicke from comment #26) > 1) allows for more sophisticated formatting (comment 1) The main reason I requested this is the ability for an editor to create multiple row groups by adding multiple tbody elements in a table. This would allow grouping data in tables, making these groups accessible to assistive devices like screen readers, allow visual formatting of the groups with CSS (other than redundant inline CSS), and allowing behaviours like collapsing groups. The solution in comment 1 simply automates adding a whole-table tbody element, and does not satisfy the requirement (the HTML DOM implicitly includes a full-table tbody anyway, so this solution is redundant.) Some use-case examples that would benefit from this: * Thousands of list articles that break up lists into separate tables, often set off with article sections. These would benefit by automatically having columns visually aligned, and in accessibility. Examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jim_Rockford's_answering_machine_gags https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_provincial_and_territorial_symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_field_guns * Similarly, data tables and infoboxes that set off groups using th elements, with inline CSS for visual formatting, with rows and cells containing only hr elements, or multiple methods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_alphabet#Unicode https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Ukrainian#Tables_of_romanization_systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_weapon * Navboxes that use nested tables to create groups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:WWIISovietAFVs * Wiktionaries have thousands of simple and complex inflection tables that need grouping: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/слушать#Conjugation https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/анулирам#Conjugation -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
