[Texmacs-dev] Visual aid for table editing?

[Norbert Nemec]

Hi there,

a simple suggestion that might help greatly in editing complex/nested
tables:

I believe, it would be very helpful if, when the cursor is inside a
table, all the table boundaries were visible, maybe as gray lines.

Currently, boxes are already display in cyan when the cursor is inside.
Displaying tables should work in just the same way, only that it should
display lines around all the cells of the current table. The gray color
for this marking would be my suggestion to make the effect less visually
disturbing. Maybe, a light cyan would work even better. It would keep
the similarity with the box-markers, but be less intensive for the large
number of lines that may be drawn for complex tables.

For nested tables, all the stages of nesting should, of course, be
marked, just like for nested boxes.

Greetings,
Norbert
