Can I add a class to a table?

[n2o]

Heyho, is it possible to add a CSS class to a table or something?

I can configure as allowed attributes the following settings:

MARKDOWNIFY_WHITELIST_ATTRS = [
    'href',
    'src',
    'alt',
    'class',
]

In my case, I want to add table table-hover table-striped classes to a table, but I do not know how to do this. And I can only find it in the python code examples, but not from within the markdown itself. Is it possible to add classes?

Your documentation points to this page: https://bleach.readthedocs.io/en/latest/clean.html#allowed-attributes-attributes
But they are using the attrs on the html code itself, not on markdown representations.

Thanks for your help :)

I think the attribute list extension will do what you want. It is included in the extra extension. Can you give it a shot and let me know how it worked out?

Hm, jep I came up with this page, but it doesn't work, because the devs of python markdown don't want it.

Python-Markdown/markdown#312

I see. Well, django-markdownify is a small wrapper around python-markdown and bleach. So if the underlying libs don't have support for it, django-markdownify won't support it either.

Maybe there are some extenstions to python-markdown with better table support? Otherwise there's always the option to just write the html in your Markdown-file.

Hm, in the issue there are several people talking about alternatives, but they oftentimes don't fulfill the necessary requirements. I will check some of them.

The Editing-Feature is for non-technical people, and I do not think that they are able to write HTML tables without a real editor. I tested it with a small table, but this is not a valuable solution. For me this will be no problem, but there are some more people writing posts on the page.

Thanks for your help. I will keep an eye on the other extensions and leave you a comment, if there is a working solution 👍
