16Deza Table Cell Extras

Сүрөттөө

Table Cell Extras extends the formatting of standard table blocks. It allows for extended inline decoration, td/th conversion of the first column, and customizable cell background colors. Additionally, extended inline formatting can optionally be enabled outside of table blocks.

Features:

  • First-column td/th conversion — Converts first-column cells from <td> to <th>
  • Transpose table — Swap rows and columns with just one click
  • Cell merge / split — Merge adjacent cells (colspan/rowspan) or split merged cells back to individual cells
  • Cell border — Set borders per row, per column, or per individual cell
  • Cell background color — Set a background color per row, per column, or per cell
  • Cell alignment — Adjust vertical alignment (Top / Middle / Bottom) and horizontal alignment (Left / Center / Right) per row, per column, or per cell
  • Cell minimum width — Set a minimum cell width with a slider (3–20em)
  • Font size — Adjust font size with a slider (0.75–2.0em)
  • Line height — Adjust line height with a slider (0.75–2.0, unitless)
  • Row spacing — Add top and/or bottom margin with a combined slider panel (0–2.0em)
  • Inline block — Apply display: inline-block to selected text
  • Pseudo ordered/unordered list — Convert selected lines to numbered or bullet-point style (span-based)
  • Horizontal rule — Insert a horizontal divider at the cursor position

Why “pseudo” lists?
Gutenberg’s RichText sanitizes block-level elements such as <ul>, <ol>, and <li> inside table cells. This plugin uses <span> elements with CSS to achieve the same visual result while remaining fully compatible with Gutenberg.

Notes

  • This plugin does not register any custom blocks; it extends the existing core/table block.
  • No external requests are made.
  • Lightweight — a single JS file and a single CSS file.

FAQ.KG

Does this work with the classic editor?

No. This plugin requires the Gutenberg block editor.

Will it break my existing tables?

No. It adds formatting tools to existing core/table blocks and does not modify their structure.

The bullet/number list looks different from a real HTML list.

Correct — by design. Real <ul>/<ol> elements are sanitized by Gutenberg inside table cells, so CSS-based pseudo-lists are used instead.

Өзгөртүүлөр

1.4.2

  • Fixed: Transpose table (swap rows and columns) now correctly handles cells with rowspan or colspan — rowspan and colspan values are swapped during transpose so the resulting table renders properly

1.4.1

  • Added: Cell horizontal alignment control (Left / Center / Right, per row / column / cell) — combined with vertical alignment into a single “Cell Alignment” inspector panel
  • Added: Line height inline format with slider (0.75–2.0, unitless)
  • Changed: “Text size” renamed to “Font size” to align with WordPress core Typography terminology
  • Changed: Font size, line height, row spacing, and inline block now share a single unified <span> element — no nested spans when multiple properties are applied simultaneously
  • Changed: Row spacing redesigned as a single toolbar button with a combined top / bottom slider panel (range 0–2.0em); backward-compatible with existing content
  • Changed: Slider panels (Font size, Line height, Row spacing) now have a semi-transparent background so the underlying text remains visible while adjusting values
  • Removed: Horizontal scroll feature — WordPress core already applies overflow-x: auto to .wp-block-table, making this feature redundant
