Always show table headers / tables with <thead>

Hi.

I’m dealing with some big tables and would want to keep the table headers always visible. To do that, one solution I found is to use floatThead. This somewhat works, but needs that the header be signaled using the <thead> tag. As far I see, XWiki is not generating the <thead> tag, so im using an html macro to create the table.

I found this proposal from february 2017 to “use thead to improve the HTML produced by the XHTML renderer for tables” . I also found and installed the extension THEAD HTML5 renderer, but I’m not seeing any difference in the generated html.

I would want to know which alternatives do I have to always show the header of a table, and what is the status of the aforementioned change to the renderer. I’m using XWiki 10.2.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Germán
