How to implement?

Can someone elaborate on how to implement the code to allow HTML on wiki pages? This page provies no help and the external link to the HTML Sanitizer comes with no how-to or documetation.

Table tags

I think that thead and tbody should be added to the whitelist…

In my instance of mediawiki I have modified Sanitizer.php, the following way, but it is not a good idea as when I update my instance, my templates using those tags will magically unwork. If anyone is in my situation, here are the modified code lines :

$htmlpairsStatic = [ # Tags that must be closed
 'b', 'bdi', 'del', 'i', 'ins', 'u', 'font', 'big', 'small', 'sub', 'sup', 'h1',
 'h2', 'h3', 'h4', 'h5', 'h6', 'cite', 'code', 'em', 's',
 'strike', 'strong', 'tt', 'var', 'div', 'center',
 'blockquote', 'ol', 'ul', 'dl', 'table', 'thead', 'tbody', 'caption', 'pre',
 'ruby', 'rb', 'rp', 'rt', 'rtc', 'p', 'span', 'abbr', 'dfn',
 'kbd', 'samp', 'data', 'time', 'mark'
];
$htmlnest = [ # Tags that can be nested--??
 'table', 'thead', 'tbody', 'tr', 'td', 'th', 'div', 'blockquote', 'ol', 'ul',
 'li', 'dl', 'dt', 'dd', 'font', 'big', 'small', 'sub', 'sup', 'span',
 'var', 'kbd', 'samp', 'em', 'strong', 'q', 'ruby', 'bdo'
];
$tabletags = [ # Can only appear inside table, we will close them
 'td', 'th', 'tr', 'thead', 'tbody'
];
