Default paragraph style for cell body

[fchan]

Is there a way to specify that a particular paragraph style be the default style used in the body of a table? Currently I have to use "Cell Content Style" to apply the paragraph style but would like the cell to default to the p style.

There is a way to have a paragraph tag always follow a td tag (in theory, never tried it), but I strooooongly don't recommend it. The reason... There are a LOT of Flare effects that do use or could use a table structure, and setting up a <p> to always follow a <td> would seriously screw those up. The caveat is if you're ok with always applying a class to the table tag in the topics -- that would differentiate a table in a topic from tables created by Flare to support one of its features.

Again, I have not tried this, but in theory, you would set up something like this in your stylesheet:

Code: Select all

table.myTableClass td
{
   mc-next-tag: p;
}

If that doesn't work, it could be because the first line makes it a complex selector and it might not work with complex selectors. In which case, I don't think there would be an easy way to do it using CSS.

The other suggestion would be to create a dummy table with paragraphs in a snippet, insert the snippet in a topic, then convert the snippet to text in the topic so you can edit it.

You might consider a complex selector just for the table (yes, you have to have a class for the table and the paragraph). I use that and it's worked great.
