FWIW, Jude and I have both been very active on the TLF table support. We’ve been working on a private Github repository because Jude is not a committer and things are still quite unstable.
Current status is as follows: * Tables render with cell strokes and backgrounds * Selections of cell content and cell ranges work. * Editing of cell content and surrounding text works * Tables recompose as needed when cell content changes. We’ve radically changed the way table and sub elements are handled. * Columns and rows are not normal children. They are informational only. * Content within cells belong to a separate TextFlow. * We’ve introduced the concept of nested TextFlows and SelectionManagers/EditManagers which are nested within each other. Control is passed between parent and child SelectionManagers as needed. * We’ve introduced table blocks used for composition in a similar manner to how TextFlowLines are used. * The logic used for composition and selection is much more understandable than what was originally written. Work still needed: * Lots of little rendering issues need to be resolved. * Some normalization logic still needs to be implemented. * Cell range selection needs to be improved. * Text selection which spans tables needs work. * Table editing operations still need to be done. * Work still needs to be done relating to header and footer cells * There’s probably bugs related to cells which span rows/columns. * Lots of tests need to be created. * Markup import needs work. That’s about it. I’m guessing it’ll be in shape where we can think about merging it back into the develop branch in a couple of weeks.
