Disable Table Inline Styles

    Hi

    Appreciate the change in 4.8.1 to prevent inline styles being applied when table first inserted, but SO easy to then accidentally resize table in editor and have inline styles applied in error. Many themes now have very good styling of responsive tables and inline styles seriously mucks this up.

    However, I appreciate some people do like inline styles for tables, so would it perhaps be possible to have two options on the Table Properties popup:

    1. Disable inline styles. This would prevent ANY inline styles being applied to a table in the editor while this option selected regardless of what the user does to the table in the editor.

    2. Clear inline styles – This would clear all existing inline styles on a table. Useful for both occasions when inline styles applied before user found option 1, or simply for someone wishing to start from scratch on their table.

    Many thanks

    Sounds good, but… How would the user be able to set table dimensions then? The only way is to add some inline styles. The only other option is to disable resizing of the table completely, and I’m sure many people would be pretty unhappy about that.

    Clear inline styles – This would clear all existing inline styles on a table.

    Yeah, that would be useful. I’m going to look into (perhaps) adding some options specifically for tabled. Frankly I’d hate it to have more and more checkboxes or radio buttons to the plugin’s settings, but seems more and more people are unhappy/confused by how tables “work” inside the editor.
