Hi,
I am a long-time user of Freeplane (a fantastic program). I am wondering if anyone can point me to a resource on what CSS properties are supported by simplyHTML, which is part of Freeplane. I add HTML tables to nodes every so often, and have found styling them to be something of a headache. It is easy enough to add colors and borders, but beyond that trying to style a table I basically add a CSS property and then check if that works or not. For example, it seems border-collapse is an attribute that is not supported.
So, I would very much appreciate a reference on just what CSS version (and perhaps subset thereof) is supported.
Thanks in advance!

SimplyHTML has not declared up to which CSS version, in the program's documentation or its SourceForge page. So as you said, only by trial and error can we know which CSS property it supports.
Besides border-collapse, other table-related CSS that are not supported by simplyHTML are:
hover
nth-child
width
border-spacing
empty-cells
vertical-align

It's a bit difficult: Swing/Freeplane understands HTLM 4, but the SimplyHTML Editor strips more or less all features that are not supported by HTML 3. So there are some formatting options that you can only set via scripts and that are erased once you open the node in the editor. We had a thread about that elsewhere.

@Luigi:
Many CSS properties that are not supported by SimplyHTML-CSS are suppored as
HTML attributes, i.e. width is supported on table and td level. You read the HTML3.2 spec, or search the web for
"tables html 3.2".
Cheers and Best Regards,
Felix

hi,
@Volker:
I think Swing is already limited to HTML 3.2.
