DataTable Disable Emoji and Markup

[aaronst]

DataTable renders :emoji: and rich markup for cells/rows added as plain strings. I don't see any way to disable this, it would be great if there were emoji and markup parameters somewhere that I could set to False, similar to other widgets like Static.

from textual import app, widgets


class Test(app.App):
    def compose(self) -> app.ComposeResult:
        yield widgets.DataTable()

    def on_mount(self) -> None:
        table = self.query_one(widgets.DataTable)
        table.add_column("test")
        table.add_row(":id:")
        table.add_row("[red]red")


Test().run()

From Static:

    @renderable.setter
    def renderable(self, renderable: RenderableType) -> None:
        if isinstance(renderable, str):
            if self.markup:
                self._renderable = Text.from_markup(renderable)
            else:
                self._renderable = Text(renderable)
        else:
            self._renderable = renderable

You can get what you want if you just use Text objects for the cell values instead of strings:

from textual import app, widgets
from rich import text


class Test(app.App):
    def compose(self) -> app.ComposeResult:
        yield widgets.DataTable()

    def on_mount(self) -> None:
        table = self.query_one(widgets.DataTable)
        table.add_column("test")
        table.add_row(text.Text(":id:"))
        table.add_row(text.Text("[red]red"))


Test().run()

Yep, it would be nice if I didn't have to though.

This also breaks the ability to use DataTable.sort(): TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'Text' and 'Text'
