Fixed Quoting tables

[frm]

Affected version

2.2.2

Looks like the bug in this report came back, replicated in my following post from the table below the last bug report:

Fixed - Tables not included when posts are selectively quoted

If the text in a post is highlighted and then selectively quoted, and a table is part of that text, it just quotes the text within that table, it doesn't actually quote the entire table. It's inconsistent with what happens when an entire post containing a table is quoted, as when that happens...

xenforo.com

Number	Number	Number	Number
1	1	1	1
2	2	2	2
3	3	3	3
4	4	4	4
5	5	5	5
6	6	6	6
7	7	7	7
8	8	8	8
9	9	9	9
10	10	10	10

(It would be nice if it could quote the selected rows and the header of "Number", but I think that'd be more of a suggestion than a bug of creating a table from the selection)

you can't just quote rows without the header though....

quoting rows 0 -4

you can't just quote rows without the header though....

Should be able to, just like you can copy/paste an Excel spreadsheet (unsure of Excel, but definitely Google Sheets) in various places while still keeping a "table" format.

 

[XF Bug Bot]

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XF release (2.2.4).

Change log:

Properly maintain the full table markup when selectively quoting only part of a table.

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.

Change log:

Can anyone at Xenforo say whether this would include the header if it's not selected or not? (In the example table above, "Number" would be created as the header when quoting rows 4-8)

No, it will only include elements that are actually selected. (I suspect that including anything else would be very unlikely, especially as there are some very tricky/odd cases that can come up with these partial selections.)
