I am converting our Mif2go publishing process to FM2017. Mif2go has a configuration setting that allows you to use the "th" tag in order to identify the table header in the html. Is there a setting like this in FM? Looking at the HTML source file, the header row class of "tr1" is also used for cellbody rows. I'm trying to put a background color on the header row. I appreciate any help that you can provide.<div width="100%" align="left"> <table border-spacing="0" dir="ltr" class="table0 ItemList" border-collapse="collapse"> <caption dir="ltr" class="FM_ItemListTblTitle">Navigation Buttons Item List</caption> <tr class="tr1"> <td class="td2"> Item </td> <td class="td3"> Description </td> </tr> <tr class="tr1"> <td class="td2"> 1 </td> <td class="td3"> Go to the first page. </td> </tr> <tr class="tr1"> <td class="td2"> 2 </td> <td class="td3"> Go to the previous page. </td>

<div width="100%" align="left">

	<tr class="tr1">

	<td class="td3">
	<p dir="ltr" class="FM_CellBody">Go to the first page.</p>

Hi

In FM, HTML publishing automatically creates TH tag if table has heading. If the table does not have heading, you can always modify your table to add heading row. If you just want special appearance for first row you can try some of the table templates like (TopRowAlternatingRows) in style mapping tab of publish settings it will apply special class like 't1st". You can modify t1st CSS selector in CSS editor and update the CSS as shown in picture.

Thanks

My problem is that even though I have designed the table with the heading, it is not assigning the TH tag. Therefore, I am getting inconsistent formatting for the table in the HTML because it looks like FM varies in its assignment of the TD classes. So if I define class td2 with the heading format in the CSS, it might be applied across multiple rows in the html.

I think something is messed up in your FM source content - can you give a screenshot of how it looks in FM with the insertion point in the table header & the bottom left corner of the FM screen visible?
