From: Mike Kupfer <mkupfer <at> alum.berkeley.edu> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 27.0.91; shr and rowspan Date: Sat, 04 Jul 2020 11:55:45 -0700
Reproducer: save this sample HTML to a file and view it with eww:
-----8<-----8<-----
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td rowspan="3">text along left side of table</td></tr>
<tr><td>row 1</td></tr>
<tr><td>row 2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
----->8----->8-----
I'm not terribly concerned about the exact formatting of the table, but
I do expect to see the "row 1" and "row 2" text somewhere. Instead, all
I see is
-----8<-----8<-----
text along left side of table
----->8----->8-----
The test case is abstracted from some HTML-only notification emails that
I have started receiving. With the "row 1" and "row 2" text missing,
the emails are close to useless.
I can't tell if I should expect shr to handle rowspan correctly. (Is
there somewhere that documents known restrictions on the HTML that shr
can handle?) If I shouldn't expect rowspan to be handled correctly (I
can imagine it's hard to get right), please treat this as a wishlist
(feature request) report.
I have verified that the problem also occurs with 26.1 and 26.3, and
I've reproduced it with "emacs -Q".
