Parsing html-lists in table-cells for use in filter

[JeroenvO]

Hi again,
I have some tables which have html-lists inside a cell like:
<td><ul><li>item1</li><li>item2</li></ul></td>
I would like the individual list items to appear in the filters, such that the filter shows 'item1' and 'item2' as distinct values. It should then be possible to filter cells that have any of the selected list-items inside the list in the cell.

I already made have a working example on https://github.com/KolibriSolutions/yadcf/blob/master/src/jquery.dataTables.yadcf.js#L2314 by adding a new html_data_type named 'multi_selector'. When i have time i will make a jsfiddle to demonstrate.

Do you like this idea? If yes, i'll work it out and send you an pull request.
Thanks for yadcf anyway!

Hi
I tweaked yadcf a bit to add this ability, see working jsfiddle

usage example:

yadcf.init(dtable, [{ column_number: 0, column_data_type: 'html', html_data_type: 'selector', html_data_selector: 'li' }]);
