Central SME Review: Cannot edit text within a table

[Roger475]

I have a topic with a table in in which contains text.

When I send a topic for review to SMEs, they can annontate and edit other text as per expected as they review, except within a table.

When typing text within a table cell, it initially appears in black text, but then disappears if you click outside the table.

It is possible to redline a whole table for deletion, but nothing more than that.

Thoughts? Thanks.

So I will answer my own question for some other poor soul who might encounter this.

It was an ill-formed table that we could not edit/change in a topic in Central review. In the HTML, the table was 3 columns, and one heading row and one body row, however, only column one contained a heading.

In the HTML, it was missing code for two columns in the heading row. As soon as they were added, the text in the table could be edited/marked up in Central review.

<table style="margin-left: 0;margin-right: auto;">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 320px;" />
<col style="width: 25px;" />
<col style="width: 825px;" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th> column 1 heading</th>
missing <th>
missing <th>
</tr>
</thead>
