Table formatting: style attribute
Is Oxygen supposed to heed the ‘style’ attribute on <th> and <td> elements in the JATS table model when it’s rendering tables? It doesn’t appear to be doing so. I’m using Oxygen 25.0 on macOS X 12.6. I’m creating tables using the JATS table model in a framework that uses CSS files copied from the JATSKit framework. When I add a style attribute like this— <td align="center" valign="bottom" style="border-bottom: solid thin black; border-right: solid thin black">X</td> —the rules I hope to see on the cell don’t appear. (For background: I’m creating tables in the JATS model by converting tables from the OASIS model. In the OASIS model, the <entry> element has ‘colsep’ and ‘rowsep’ attributes to make a rule appear on the right or bottom edge of the table cell. Since there are no direct analogues of those attributes in the JATS model <th> and <td> elements, I’m using the ‘style’ attribute instead.) -- Michael R.

Hi Michael, We (the Oxygen XML developers) are not very familiar with the JATS format. Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual editing mode. If for example you open the CSS "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" CSS and add this selector to it: then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing should interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which has a "style" attribute. But is this correct according to the standard? https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-kkw2.html
with many of the elements within a NISO JATS table(<table> <https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-by90.html>), records the name of the style to be applied to the element; The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate more a style name which should indicate the styling.

Thanks, Radu. That produced the change I need, though I limited the selector to th[style] and td[style]. I’m assuming that CSS declarations are acceptable content for the ‘style’ attribute based on the example in https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.2/attribute/style.html: <tr> <td style="background: lightgrey" colspan="7">Preschool</td> </tr> -- Michael R.

Hello Michael, Great, I'm glad this works for you for editing. Probably such styling also depends on how you publish the JATS document further, if you produce an HTML document from it, that may work but for producing a PDF having HTML-related styles in the JATS file will probably not produce results in the PDF.

Hi Michael,
We (the Oxygen XML developers) are not very familiar with the JATS format.
Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual editing mode. If for example you open the CSS "OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" CSS and add this selector to it:
*[style]{ -oxy-style:attr(style); }
then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing should interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which has a "style" attribute.
But is this correct according to the standard?

with many of the elements within a NISO JATS table(<table> <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-by90.html__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!5UqrygK3OTCVWUckqPixZjhgdhWr64We_KH3SmfdyV6hT0Iymy8clGtEVsrSv4uWqJbpsnY3eD-nYPKvVdf-bzfM$>), records the name of the style to be applied to the element;
The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate more a style name which should indicate the styling.
