Item9259: Tables containing headings fail to roundtrip

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Extension	WysiwygPlugin

This table fails roundtrip (left as HTML - expected TML table):

<table> <tbody> 
<tr> <td> <h3> b </h3> </td> </tr> 
</tbody> </table>

It gets converted to:

<table> <tbody> 
<tr> <td>
---+++ b 
</td> </tr> 
</tbody> </table>

Expected:

| <h3> b </h3> |

This is inconsistent with list items in tables, where those are emitted as HTML.

I suppose the current behaviour was originally done so that name anchors could be generated in the viewed topic text when saved this way.

Unfortunately it complicates TinyMCETableToolsPlugin logic quite substantially - not only have I had to reproduce all the WYSIWYGPLUGIN_STICKYBITS pattern matching, but then there's this special exception (and maybe others

What I need to know:

• "Fix" (allow <h1>, et. al. in tables), or
• Document

There's another, simpler, third approach that I think I'd prefer; use the logic in WysiwygPlugin to refuse to convert a table containing a heading to TML. And document why, of course.

That's the current behaviour - so I guess I'll document this

I support the "document it" approach, too.

So is the fact that list items are preserved as HTML considered a bug?

With 1.1.5 / 1.2 version of WYSIWYG, this is a bit worse, and is corrupted on the 2nd edit cycle:

1. Original table with html h3
2. html table with tml h3
3. tml table with non-interpreted tml h3
