tableAttributes not working correctly

[machitgarha]

First, thanks for this awesome package.

The following file's table label doesn't get rendered correctly using any of PdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX: https://github.com/Witiko/markdown/blob/80a1a29e8eea660609d994711ce729b30e427310/tests/testfiles/unit/lunamark-markdown/table-attributes.test

@machitgarha Hi and thanks for using the Markdown package for TeX.

Could you be more specific, please? What are your full example documents, what do you expect to be the output and what is the actual output? Screenshots welcome.

Here my example document example.tex:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{markdown}
\markdownSetup {
  pipeTables = true,
  tableCaptions = true,
  tableAttributes = true,
}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}
This test ensures that the Lua `tableCaptions` and `tableAttributes` options correctly
propagate through the plain TeX interface.

| Right | *Left* |   Default   | Center |
|------:|:-------|-------------|:------:|
|   12  |   12   |      12     |    12  |
|  123  |   123  |   **123**   |   123  |
|    1  |     1  |       1     |     1  |

  : Demonstration of *pipe table* syntax with the caption spreading over
    multiple lines. {#identifier .class-name key=value}

| Right | *Left* |   Default   | Center |
|------:|:-------|-------------|:------:|
|   12  |   12   |      12     |    12  |
|  123  |   123  |   **123**   |   123  |
|    1  |     1  |       1     |     1  |

  Table: Demonstration of *pipe table* syntax with the caption spreading over
         multiple lines.

A caption may not span multiple paragraphs.
\end{markdown}
\end{document}

Here is the resulting document example.pdf after using the command lualatex example:

I don't see anything wrong with it.

If you see a different output in example.pdf, you may be using an outdated version of the Markdown package. Around line 73 in the file example.log, I see the following text:

Package: markdown 2024-11-06 v3.8.1-11-g80a1a29e markdown renderer

What text do you see?

Hi! Sorry, the issue is too vague and missing context.

The problem is, when I want to reference the table, I can't. I.e., when I write "Table <#identifier>", it produces "Table ", not "Table 1". I'm using LuaLaTeX.

[Witiko]

I understand now. We don't really support that at the moment, i.e. the table identifiers produce corresponding TeX macros that TeXnicians can redefine but there is no predefined behavior at the moment. However, we can provide defaults for table identifiers for sure! I will add it to my tasks for this month's release.

In the meantime, if you fancy yourself a TeXnician, you may want to look at the sections Table Attribute Context Renderers and Attribute Renderers of our user manual to see how you might do this for yourself.

@machitgarha: After PR #528, table attributes should work correctly in LaTeX:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[
  pipe_tables,
  table_attributes,
  table_captions,
  relative_references,
]{markdown}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}

| Right | *Left* |   Default   | Center |
|------:|:-------|-------------|:------:|
|   12  |   12   |      12     |    12  |
|  123  |   123  |   **123**   |   123  |
|    1  |     1  |       1     |     1  |
  : Demonstration of *pipe table* syntax with the caption spreading over
    multiple lines. {#identifier .class-name key=value}

Demonstration of a *relative reference*: See Table <#identifier>.

\end{markdown}
\end{document}

PR #528 will be released at the end of November in version 3.9.0 of the Markdown package for TeX.

@Witiko, big thanks for the fix!
