[css] Tables render without padding/margin about wikitten

I assume what's missing is class="table" on the <table> element.

I am not sure if we can make Markdown to add extra classes, but we can redefine table {} in CSS right. :)

If we control the Markdown to HTML conversion pipeline or can extend it somehow, we can add class="table" to all <table> elements, no? That's what would be required to have the Bootstrap style added to it.

Won't that be against the implementation of original markdown parser? Also also I believe you can add extra features with GFM. I am gonna implement that soon.

FYI: I'm not evaluating wikitten anymore but switched to a dokuwiki based solution. It has pretty nice markdown support and also one fairly good bootstrap theme.

@praveenscience The parser shouldn't be involved in this at all. Adding class="table" would be done in the rendering of whatever the parser creates (an AST, I assume) from the Markdown markup. If it's possible to add a plugin to the rendering pipeline, that would be an elegant and simple solution.

@asbjornu Agreed. There's a plan of using Parsedown instead of the original markdown, so this opens up to so many possibilities. I will try to check with the PD guys, if there's a possibility of adding extra class. 😄
