Question: how to add an attribute to a table header cell? (<th>)

[Ambient-Impact]

Hello. I've tried all sorts of variants of the attributes syntax, but none of them get identified as attributes by the parser.

I tried inline:

| Episode | Episode title | Description{data-table-column-type="long"}| Cupoid challenge theme | Original stream date |

I tried the block syntax both before after the pipe, because why not:

| Episode | Episode title | Description{: data-table-column-type="long"} | Cupoid challenge theme | Original stream date |

| Episode | Episode title | Description|{: data-table-column-type="long"} Cupoid challenge theme | Original stream date |

I tried the alignment syntax just in case:

| Episode | Episode title | Description(data-table-column-type="long") | Cupoid challenge theme | Original stream date |

Can attributes on individual table elements only be added programmatically? This is on 1.6, as we can't yet upgrade to 2.0, by the way.

Try adding a space before the opening { like this:

| Episode | Episode title | Description {data-table-column-type="long"} | Cupoid challenge theme | Original stream date |

I think that should work on both 1.6 and 2.0.

@colinodell Thanks for getting back to me. Tried it on 1.6.6 and it still just gets output as text in the <th>:

Any other suggestions I could try?

I ran a similar test on 1.6.6 and it seemed to work correctly:

Do you have any other extensions enabled?

If you're open to debugging this, try setting a breakpoint in AttributesInlineParser::parse() to confirm if it's being called and parsing the attribute information.
