Item1911: CompareRevisionsAddOn always markes tables with a change bar and often red/green also

It seems that even when you have not touched a table at all, CompareRevisionsAddOn marks the table as changed.

It has not always been like this.

I have the feeling the reason is that the rendering in HTML of table have changed so that they are shown differently in an old revision than in current revision.

I need to analyse this further. It requires digging deeper into this plugin than I have been before. It is rather annoying.

Ah. It is the table ID which is not reset when you read the same topic twice and present it twice.

A table rendered as HTML looks like

<table cellspacing="0" id="table5" cellpadding="0" class="foswikiTable" rules="rows" border="1">

And it is the id where the table number continues counting up.

I need to investigate if this is something I should fix in the core or TablePlugin or it is CRAO that needs to deal with this.

I have a hack that works well.

But maybe a plugin expert can give me a hint how to "reset" another plugin before calling it again.

I need to reset the table counter in TablePlugin.
