What’s the bug you are facing?

Hi guys,

I have been using Tiptap for a while now (coming from Tinymce) and while I sometimes literally pull my hair out to get things working the way I want to them to work, I appreciate tiptap a lot (I actually was a sponsor but as PayPal was dismissed, I forgot to re-sign as sponsor).

The only thing that is frustrating to me is the table-extension. And I noticed quite some open issues about it:

• [Bug]: Cannot extend and configure a Table extension #4081
• [Bug]: colwidth is not working with editable as false #4044
• [Bug]: Table extended bug #4017
• [Bug]: Table resizing #3993

In general, the table extensions on other editors (like ck, tinymce, ...) work the following way: You can adjust the columns (and these adjustments are then stated as % in the respective columns), and you can also give a "wrapper" (as a div) for the table, which makes styling (for the front end) easy. Typically, that's just a "table-responsive" or "tabble-wrapper" class or whatever you like (I know while editing the table in tiptap it gets wrapped in a TableWrapper class btw).

As I have the impression quite some folks would have the interest to having a working table extension in that way, I just wonder what's the status of the extension?

And by the way, I also believe (or hope) we would find some people that would fund a refactor or enhancement of the current extension (including myself) as I believe this would take quite some time.

Any thoughts on this?

I haven't started using the tables much yet but these seem like valid issues that should be addressed.
