When there is no space between the
*
and the header text
then if the header contains a link, it is not formatted as a link, and the web is shown. Witness:
Table 1
%TABLE{headerrows="1" sort="off"}%
|*A*|*TWiki.StandardColors*|
|1|yellow|
|2|red|
|3|green|
|4|white|
A |
TWiki.StandardColors |
1 |
yellow |
2 |
red |
3 |
green |
4 |
white |
Table 2: With the sorting allowed, the header is not bold faced.
%TABLE{headerrows="1"}%
|*A*|*TWiki.StandardColors*|
|1|yellow|
|2|red|
|3|green|
|4|white|
Table 3: Same issue as (2) for a table without the table plugin directive
|*A*|*TWiki.StandardColors*|
|1|yellow|
|2|red|
|3|green|
|4|white|
Note that if you leave spaces, the links become links, but then you have another bug, see
Item3197.
Table 4: If you don't have the *
, you do not get header cells, but you get the link.
|*A*|TWiki.StandardColors|
|1|yellow|
|2|red|
|3|green|
|4|white|
Maybe its because of my flu, but I don't understand the point being made. Could you write up a problem summary?

Problem Summary
Suddenly, formatting of header cells in tables does not work as it did in the past. I believe the requirements are that
- A table row where all cells are bolded (surrounded by
*
) is a "header" row (albeit that row may be inside the table or the footer also)
- A "header" row is shown with bold font and with a "header background"
- If the table is sortable, the top header row only has links to allow sorting.
As we can see from above, the following deviations from this exist:
- Links in "header" rows are not properly formatted as they show the web. See Table 1-3.
- If a table is not sortable, a link to a topic in the "header" row is not a link. See Table 1.
- If a table is sortable, the "header row" is not shown in bold font (see Table 2 and Table 3)

This happens in a twiki form, not in a twiki topic, because of this style:
.twikiFormTable th {
font-weight:normal;
}
I have changed this.

Problem 1 and 2 still persist. See above. --
TW
Problem 1: you are using a table header that happens to look like a web.topic link. If you prefer to disambigue the syntax, use bracket notation:
%TABLE{headerrows="1" sort="off"}%
|*A*|*[[TWiki.StandardColors]]*|
|1|yellow|
|2|red|
|3|green|
|4|white|
Pass a header color parameter to make the link readable:
Oops. That looks like a different bug.
Problem 2: the header is now bold (it wasn't before my fix). Try empty your cache first if the problem persists.
AC
Problem 1 still persists. It should not be required to put brackets around a TWiki word to make it appear as a link and format correctly. TWiki.TWikiTemplates should appear as
TWikiTemplates, everywhere where TML is expanded.
Problem 2 still persists. Table 1 should have a clickable link in the header cell.
TW
You are saying that with the notation of
TWiki.StandardColors
(so even
StandardColors
in TWiki web), TablePlugin must recognize this as a link to a topic and should not use this link as a sortable header.
How would that work?
AC
No.
What I am saying is
1. In a
WikiWord, the formatting is so that the web is not shown. E.g. TWiki.TWikiTemplates renders as
TWikiTemplates. That should be true in table headers also.
2. If a table is not sortable, a
WikiWord in the header should function as a link (as it is not overridden by the
TablePlugin sort functionality).
TW
For a non-sortable column the solution is easy. TablePlugin wraps the header text inside
**
, and that has the same effect as on a topic page:
TWiki.StandardColors.
I've changed the syntax from
*Header*
to
<strong> Header </strong>
to make links possible.
But for sortable columns the situation is not so easy. The header text is wrapped inside
<a></a>
. That is before the header name is recognized as a topic name (or web.topic name). If I put spaces around the header text, this is always rendered as a link to a topic instead of a column sort link.
