I would like to be able to add coloured backgrounds to FitNesse table cells

  • 0

I would like to be able to add coloured backgrounds to FitNesse table cells (sometimes entire rows) to enhance their readability. I’m happy if these colours are overwritten when a test page is run. Is there a way to do this?

    You can apply custom styles to any fitnesse cell by using the

    !style_(text)

    widgit. Where (text) is the name of some css class you have defined. You can see the various options for formatting the fitnesse wiki pages at fitnesse.org

    EDIT : It looks as though the style widgit is only useful for formatting text not in a fixture table. For example:

    !|Store Data Dictionary Table|VALUE_SET_VALUE| |!style_strike(ValueSetID)|Code|Label| |MCODESET|1|RESPONSE1| |MCODESET|2|RESPONSE2| |MCODESET|3|RESPONSE3| |MCODESET|4|RESPONSE4| 

    does not set the style of ValueSetId to the strike class. But removing the ! from the table itself like so does work:

    |Store Data Dictionary Table|VALUE_SET_VALUE| |!style_strike(ValueSetID)|Code|Label| |MCODESET|1|RESPONSE1| |MCODESET|2|RESPONSE2| |MCODESET|3|RESPONSE3| |MCODESET|4|RESPONSE4| 

    You could also try applying the style directly like so:

    !|Store Data Dictionary Table|VALUE_SET_VALUE| |!-<span class='strike'>ValueSetID</span>-!|Code|Label| |MCODESET|1|RESPONSE1| |MCODESET|2|RESPONSE2| |MCODESET|3|RESPONSE3| |MCODESET|4|RESPONSE4| 

    This uses the widgit that outputs the HTML tags. I tried applying it to the row but it did not work though 🙁 You might have to tag each individual element.
