Summary

CMS content pages with tables grew borders after #333. That PR styled each th and td inside .content-block with a border, cell padding and a header fill so that a table inserted from the new editor table dialog would be visible. Migrated VIPER 1 content uses borderless layout tables (CAHFS Home alone has seven), so those pages picked up borders they never had. VIPER 1 rendered the same HTML with no table CSS at all.

Regression from #333.

Fix

The bordered styling now keys off a border attribute on the table instead of applying to every table in the block.

  • base.css scopes those rules to table[border], with border="0" left alone. A table without the attribute renders with browser defaults, the way it did in VIPER 1.
  • The editor's table dialog gains "Show borders" (on by default) and "Alignment" (not set, left, center, right), in the order CKEditor's dialog listed them. It writes border="1" or border="0" plus the align attribute when one is chosen. A survey of the stored blocks found 6 of 15 with tables chose border 0 in CKEditor and 7 carry align, so both are in use; none use caption or summary, so those are not offered.
  • The sanitizer lets border, align, valign, cellpadding and cellspacing through. VIPER 1's AntiSamy policy allowed all five, so legacy content that carries them renders as it used to. One block (IACUC Protocols) had border="1" stripped before VPR-210 feat(cms): add link, image and table dialogs to the content editor #333 and gets its borders back.
  • q-table and CMS tables each carried their own #eee header fill. It now lives in a --table-header token in colors.css, with a line in DESIGN.md.

Testing

  • editor-html and rich-text-editor suites cover the attributes, including a borderless centered insert driven through the dialog.
  • Sanitizer tests check that border="1", align, valign, cellpadding and cellspacing survive a sanitize pass.
  • Checked CAHFS Home in the browser: legacy cells have no border and no header fill, an injected border="1" table gets the styling, and border="0" does not.
  • Opened the dialog on the content block editor: fields appear as Rows, Columns, First row is a header, Show borders, Alignment, and inserting with borders off and Center selected writes <table border="0" align="center">.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The table editor now supports border and alignment options. Generated table HTML includes these attributes, CSS applies bordered-table styles conditionally, and sanitization preserves the attributes.

Changes

Table options

Layer / File(s) Summary
Table options contract and editor flow
VueApp/src/components/editor/editor-html.ts, VueApp/src/components/editor/EditorTableDialog.vue, VueApp/src/components/RichTextEditor.vue, VueApp/src/components/__tests__/*
TableOptions and TableAlign define the shared table shape. The dialog collects border and alignment values, emits the shared payload, resets all fields, and generates matching table HTML.
Table styling and shared header color
VueApp/src/styles/colors.css, VueApp/src/styles/base.css, DESIGN.md
A shared --table-header token replaces hard-coded header colors. CMS table borders, padding, and header fills apply only when border is not "0".
HTML attribute preservation
web/Services/HtmlSanitizerService.cs, test/Services/HtmlSanitizerServiceTests.cs
The sanitizer allowlist now preserves border and align attributes on tables and cells. Tests cover both attributes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 480e4

CMS tables can lose configured cell spacing and padding after sanitization, and the dialog reset test misses regressions for two fields. Address the sanitizer defect before merge and strengthen the focused regression test.

Exercise cols and header before closing the dialog.

The test leaves both fields at their defaults, so a reset that omits either field still passes. Set cols to 2 and header to false before emitting hide; the existing assertion then checks both resets.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve cellpadding and cellspacing.

Add cellpadding and cellspacing to this allowlist. The sanitizer still removes these legacy table attributes, so affected CMS tables lose their configured cell spacing and padding after this change. Add regression cases with the other table attributes.

Proposed fix
-                "width", "height", "colspan", "rowspan", "scope", "border", "align",
+                "width", "height", "colspan", "rowspan", "scope", "border", "align", "cellpadding", "cellspacing",

The PR objective requires preservation of these attributes.

The editor parity work styled every table cell inside rendered CMS
content with a border, cell padding and a header fill so that a table
inserted from the new table dialog would be visible. Migrated VIPER 1
content uses borderless layout tables, so pages like CAHFS Home grew
borders they never had.

- Key the bordered styling off a border attribute on the table, which
  the sanitizer now lets through as the VIPER 1 policy did; border="0"
  stays borderless
- Give the table dialog "Show borders" and "Alignment" options in
  CKEditor's order, writing the border and align attributes VIPER 1
  content already uses
- Let align, valign, cellpadding and cellspacing through the sanitizer
  as well, the presentational table attributes VIPER 1's policy allowed
- Tables without the attribute render with browser defaults again
- Share the table header fill between q-table and bordered CMS tables
  through a --table-header token
