Item9570: Larger table text within TinyMCE

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine	TinyMCEPlugin

I find the table text in TinyMCE to be very small.

This fixes it:

.mceContentBody td {
    font-size: small;
}

I think I should add it to pub/System/PatternSkinTheme/style_src.css. Should I update the other themes, too? I suspect I should not update the PatternSkinTheme2009.

Paul said on IRC "MTempest: you could always put it in System/TinyMCEPlugin/wysiwyg_src.css"

Curious that setting small makes the text larger...

Using Firebug, I see that normal paragraph text is "small" in TMCE, and table text is 10px. "small" is larger than 10px in my browser.

Better to make the font size 100% in wysiwyg_src.css.

Prior to addressing this issue - the ordinary table text is 10px:

font-size:small makes normal table text the same size as plain paragraph text:

font-size:100% makes normal table text the same size as table headings, which is larger than plain paragraph text:

On a related note, can we do something about the fact that there are no blank spaces when we create a new table? New users don't get the fact that a table has been created.

This needs note in TinyMCEPlugin release notes

Paul - yes, it does, and I will do that

Guruprasadlyer - I agree, and I raised Item9606 for the lack of blank spaces in new tables.
