New table layout with ROW and CELL tag

Description

A nice way to add advanced layout control using the [[table]] tag. The example uses the style attribute for the whole table and particular cells to adjust layout. Using [[row]] and [[cell]] tag.

I found it in the http://snippets.wikidot.com/ ( search for tag = table layout …) a very goofd example !

I tried here in the example to fullfill the request for row-span over 2 rows with one cell beside ( cell 3 here ):
I solved it by using a 2. table in a single cell with 2 rows with one cell)

1. the code of the example ( and later the action)

[[table style="margin: 0 10px;"]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="padding: 10px; background-color: #DDDDEE; border: 1px solid silver; width: 40%;"]]

+++ example cell

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi commodo, ips.....
....si. Nulla libero.
[[/cell]]
[[cell style="vertical-align: top; padding: 10px; background-color: #DDEEDD; border: 1px solid silver;width: 40%;"]]

+++ extra example

bLA bLA !  Vivamus pharetra posuere sapien. Nam .... 
blandit sed, blandit a, eros.
[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="vertical-align: top; padding: 0px; margin: 0  0px ;background-color: #DDEEDD; border: 1px solid silver"]]

[[table style="vertical-align: top; text-align: top; padding: 0px; margin: 0  0px; width: 100% ; high= 100%"]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="vertical-align: top; text-align: middle; margin: 0  0px; padding: 10px; background-color: #DDEEDD; border: 1px solid "]]

+++ another left cell (1)

Suspendisse id velit vitae ligula volutpat condimentum. Aliquam erat volutpat. Sed quis velit. Nulla facilisi. \
.................................. eros.
[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="vertical-align: top ; text-align: top; margin: 0  0px; padding: 10px; background-color: #DDEEDD; border: 1px solid "]] 

+++ cell (2) 

Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros.

Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada ornare dolor. Cras gravida, diam sit \ 
liquam .....iaculis. 
[[/cell]]

[[/row]]

[[/table]]

[[/cell]]

[[cell style="vertical-align: top ; text-align: middle; padding: 10px; background-color: #DDDDEE; border: 1px solid silver"]]

+++ right cell 3 alone  

Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros.

Quisque facilisis erat a dui. ............
........sapien, non aliquet massa pede eu diam. Aliquam iaculis. 
[[/cell]]

[[/row]]

[[/table]]

In action

example cell Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi commodo, ipsum sed pharetra gravida, orci magna rhoncus neque, id pulvinar odio lorem non turpis. Nullam sit amet enim. Suspendisse id velit vitae ligula volutpat condimentum. Aliquam erat volutpat. Sed quis velit. Nulla facilisi. Nulla libero.

extra example bLA bLA ! Vivamus pharetra posuere sapien. Nam consectetuer. Sed aliquam, nunc eget euismod ullamcorper, lectus nunc ullamcorper orci, fermentum bibendum enim nibh eget ipsum. Donec porttitor ligula eu dolor. Maecenas vitae nulla consequat libero cursus venenatis. Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros.

another left cell (1) Suspendisse id velit vitae ligula volutpat condimentum. Aliquam erat volutpat. Sed quis velit. Nulla facilisi. Nulla libero. Vivamus pharetra posuere sapien. Nam consectetuer. Sed aliquam, nunc eget euismod ullamcorper, lectus nunc ullamcorper orci, fermentum bibendum enim nibh eget ipsum. Donec porttitor ligula eu dolor. Maecenas vitae nulla consequat libero cursus venenatis. Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros. cell (2) Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros. Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada ornare dolor. Cras gravida, diam sit amet rhoncus ornare, erat elit consectetuer erat, id egestas pede nibh eget odio. Proin tincidunt, velit vel porta elementum, magna diam molestie sapien, non aliquet massa pede eu diam. Aliquam iaculis.

right cell 3 alone Nam magna enim, accumsan eu, blandit sed, blandit a, eros. Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada ornare dolor. Cras gravida, diam sit amet rhoncus ornare, erat elit consectetuer erat, id egestas pede nibh eget odio. Proin tincidunt, velit vel porta elementum, magna diam molestie sapien, non aliquet massa pede eu diam. Aliquam iaculis.

Cell 3 is currently "centered vertical".

If you use Fire fox there's a couple og handy little tools for doing stuff like this.

ColorZilla color picker is well worth a look

The Gap

Micharjuna 1206063969|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

How might one remove the gap at the top of Row 2, Column 1? I am trying to implement this, and I really need to get rid of that gap!

I need a visual. Can you post a screenshot or a link to what you're talking about?

Use

[[cell style="vertical-align:top;"]]

… and avoid the use of +, ++, +++ heading levels which might give extra line space before and after the text. Use bold … or [[size]] instead.
