Reply to: HTML tables not rendering in XMetal 16
February 17, 2022 at 12:17 amXML is the base of the content and incorporates the HTML table model
I have now discovered what is causing this issue. It is the fact that we have two schema models for table cells, one for the header and body cells and one for the footer cells. XMetal does not like this and refuses to format the table. When I change the schema to a single table cell model then the rendering of the table works
This is an issue as we need to restrict what can appear in the footer cells. As a work around I have changed the schema to use a single table cell model. I then use XSLT to validate the elements within the footer cells when this data is checked back into the db, but this is far from perfect
