Interesting. Wonder how you can get cell level control for styling when you are rendering text nodes. Positioning elements by line-height may not be the best way.

Canvas can be made fully accessible and screen reader friendly. See how Google Sheets has done. But yes, its not natively accessible like HTML.



That's the biggest trade-off I had to make. DXGL does not implement HTML markup in cells: see Features & Limits (https://www.datagridxl.com/docs/features-limits).

That's why I try to make it clear that DGXL is meant for input, editing values. It's not meant for templating or making tables look all pretty for presentation means.

It was a tough decision I had to make, but in the end I am very happy with it. If people are looking for a data table with 100+ features (including markup), I will gladly refer them to 100 other products. But if they're looking for performance & reliability, I am quite convinced that DGXL is the best choice really.
