Hello guys,
I have to add custom html element into datatable cells like :
`html.Button(["Change choice"], className="btn btn-primary btn-round")`
or
`html.Span(["37%"], className="btn btn-primary btn-outline-primary btn-round score")`
How can I make that please ?

@LucasVN Thanks for the question. This is not currently possible in the table as it would either require supporting components as properties, which we do not do at the moment and is still on an unknown timeline, or requiring extra presentation options in the table, which is not in the plans in the short term.

Hi @akash1 ,
I don’t think so. But there is a way to include a button behavior:

> Hi Everybody, Today @AnnMarieW and I performed an option to have a kind of Button inside a Dash data Table. Let me explain the trick: Use active\_cell property of the table as Input of a callback. The active\_cell property has (at least) 3 elements of the active cell, those are row, column, and column\_id. That means if a user selects the second element of the first column the active\_cell will give us the following information: {‘row’: 1, ‘column’: 0, ‘column\_id’: ‘first\_column\_name’} Then us…

Thanks @AIMPED for the suggestion.

@akash1,
Have you looked into markdown?

You can use images as a tooltip:

>
> \`dash\_table.DataTable\` is an interactive table that supports rich styling, conditional formatting, editing, sorting, filtering, and more.
Or add special characters like emojis:
