 * Just donated to TablePress.
    A Find/Replace function would be cool. Or the possibility
   to edit source code.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post!
 * Thanks again for the donation, I really appreciate it!
 * With search/replace, do you mean a “global” search/replace in the tables? That
   could indeed be interesting. I’ll have to check if I can somehow implement this,
   maybe as a TablePress Extension.
 * Meanwhile, you could indeed do this in the raw table data (I guess that’s what
   you mean with “source code”). Using a tool like phpMyAdmin, you could search/
   replace using an SQL query, targetting all entries in the `wp_posts` DB table
   that have a `post_type` value of `tablepress_table`. In that, the TablePress 
   tables are stored as JSON-encoded two-dimensional arrays.

 * That’s easy, since you can use HTML within the tables. Just put the text you 
   want bold between <b> and </b>. The code for an extra space is ampersand-nbsb;

 * Hi,
 * yes, bolding the text is possible with some HTML code, as hpz88 already suggested.
   Besides the `<b>` tag, you could also use `<strong>`, e.g.
 *     ```
       <strong>This will be bold.</strong>
       ```
   
 * If you use the “Advanced Editor” (reachable via the button below the table input
   fields or by holding “Shift” when clicking into a cell), there’s also a button
   that will add those HTML tags for you.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
