Is it possible to add an id or class to a (multi)markdown element?
For example a table, a paragraph or block of code?
I would like to style a table with css but non of following work:
[captionid][This is the caption, not the table id]
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
[captionid][This is the caption, not the table id]
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
[tablecaption](#tableid)
<div class="special_table">
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
</div>
Can't find anything else online..
I dont mean github or stackoverflow flavored markdown btw.
I can confirm this to work with kramdown. Happy hunting.
markdown
{:.foo}
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
css
.foo {
background: blue;
}
After some research, I come up with a simple and straight forward solution :)
I placed tables in between of two HTML placeholders and used jQuery to fine tune those and only those as needed:
Beginning of Table
<div class="tables-start"></div>
Table
id | name
---|---
1 | London
2 | Paris
3 | Berlin
End of Table
<div class="tables-end"></div>
jQuery: Fine tune tables by adding the classes
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
$('div.tables-begin').nextUntil('div.tables-end', 'table').addClass('table table-bordered');
})();
</script>
You can add a custom class or id to an element by put the class or id inside a curly bracket after the element like this: {#id .class}
For example:
[Read more](http://www.stackoverflow.com "read more"){#link-sf .btn-read-more}
will render like:
<a href="http://www.stackoverflow.com" title="read more" id="link-sf" class="btn-read-more">Read more</a>
You can refer to https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#spe-attr
For CSS purposes you could add an id to the previous element and then use a selector to alter the following element.
Markdown like this:
<div class="special_table"></div>
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
CSS like this:
div.special_table + table tr:nth-child(even) {background: #922}
