NOTE!
- In v2.17.0, the
textExtractioncolumn can also be referenced by using a jQuery selector (e.g. class name or ID). - The textExtraction function setting for each column was added in version 2.0.12 (not part of the original plugin).
- The "First Name" column is sorting by the contents of the <strong> tag (in red).
- Added "table" and "cellIndex" variables to the textExtraction function (v2.1.2).
