Add support for Quill table modules (table attribute) by Copilot · Pull Request #101 · nadar/quill-delta-parser

Copilot · 2026-01-08T08:54:57Z

Implements parsing for Quill table modules (quill-better-table, default table module) that use table attributes in delta format.

Changes

New Table listener (src/listener/Table.php)
- Extends BlockListener to handle table attributes on newlines
- Groups cells by row ID
- Maintains cell ordering by sequence in delta ops
- Preserves inline formatting (bold, italic, color, etc.) within cells
- Generates HTML with <table><tbody><tr><td> structure
Updated Align listener (src/listener/Align.php)
- Added check to skip lines with table attribute
- Prevents table content from being wrapped in alignment paragraphs
Lexer integration (src/Lexer.php)
- Registered Table in loadBuiltinListeners()
- Tables now work automatically with no configuration
Test coverage
- Basic multi-row tables
- Bold text in cells (header pattern)
- Mixed formatting (bold + italic) with align attributes

Usage

$json = '{
  "ops": [
    {"insert": "Name"},
    {"insert": "\n", "attributes": {"table": "row-1"}},
    {"insert": "Age"},
    {"insert": "\n", "attributes": {"table": "row-1"}}
  ]
}';

$lexer = new \nadar\quill\Lexer($json);
echo $lexer->render();
// <table><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Age</td></tr></tbody></table>

Notes

No special header elements (thead/th) - Quill table format doesn't distinguish headers from data cells
Follows same pattern as Lists listener for multi-element block structures
Cells in the same row share the same row ID value
Cell order is determined by sequence in delta ops

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Support for Quill Default Table(Module) or Table Better(Extra Module)</issue_title>
<issue_description>Does we have support or anyone has implemented Quill Table Better ? I want parser for that delta json to html render in my pdf. </issue_description>

<agent_instructions>Create a new listener which generates the table, you can see the the quill which should generated the expected html, add a unit tests to ensure and compare the quill against the expect html</agent_instructions>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)
@nadar if you know how the delta looks or find a documentation regarding this, we might implement it. i think there was another issue regarding this (or similar) already #86 @nadar @dishant-hupp can you please add the expected html to the given quill? maybe directly inspect the quill editors code to see what it produces. i think this kind of job can i pass to the copilot easily. @nadar > In this example, there are 4 rows, with the first row acting as a header.
i don't think this is true. This is just text which is bold. the quill format don't say anything about being a table header (th, thead) afaik?</comment_new>

@copilot your quill is wrong, i expect that you handle this quill

...

Fixed in commit 9e44c59. The Table listener now correctly handles the "table": "row-id" attribute format. Updated the Align listener to skip table lines (preventing duplicate content), and rewrote all tests to use the correct Quill table delta format. All tests pass with your example data.

Copilot · 2026-01-08T09:35:06Z

@copilot there is no celldata, you make assumptions no one asked for!

Your quill is wrong, i expect that you handle this quill...

The Table listener has been updated in commits c7f50e3 and 9e44c59. There's no "celldata" - it now uses only "table": "row-id" as you specified. The implementation correctly handles your example.

Two notes on the expected HTML you provided:

Row 4, cell 3 shows <td></td> (empty) but the JSON has "Pending" - should this cell include the text?
The color span on "0%" comes from the Color listener, not Table listener - is this the expected behavior?

nadar · 2026-01-08T10:26:05Z

@dishant-hupp would you like to give it a spin?

dishant-hupp · 2026-01-08T13:03:57Z

@dishant-hupp would you like to give it a spin?

I’ll pull the latest changes from this, test them on my end, and update you. I've also built a custom Table class and make custom listner for it, but I'm definitely interested in trying yours.

dishant-hupp · 2026-01-13T04:45:16Z

@nadar I've thoroughly reviewed this update. While it works to some extent, the borders and overall formatting are not as expected. I've created a modified version that provides a much better visual result. However, there's an issue: when two tables are placed one after another, they are not recognized as separate entities and get merged, even when separated by a <p> tag. Could you share your email address so I can provide more details, or you can reach me at dishantv81@hupp.in?

nadar · 2026-01-13T06:54:13Z

please post the problematic quill code here, so we can add it directly as unit test.

This is not PDF parse output. Image shared it come from Frontend Editor where Quill is integrated.
generated PDF has different out like bellow. check the sequence.. it merge the rows and combine at last.

show me the quill
show me the html which the generate does

we have nothing to do with pdfs here, it might be a problem somewhere else, so please just post the quill and the html output from the parser
