This video demonstrates how it works in CKEditor (another web project). When I turn on lightswitch to make the row as "Header row" it automatically make that row with light gray background and bold text. It is very useful for users that adds lots of tables on the page.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
Much better table view
Easier way to find visual headers of the table
Faster content editing as all the cells in header rows have formatting by default. You just adds a row and the first cell is already formatted. I don't ask to add switcher to context menu as demonstrated on the example in video, UX can be anything, just add the ability to format first row or column automatically
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Yes it is possible to edit every cell (background (when this bug will be fixed) and color) but it is much convenient when it is automatically.
