[[meta title="table (third-party plugin)"]]
This plugin allows build html tables from data in csv (comma-separated values) or dsv (delimiter-separated values) formats.
It need the perl module [[cpan Text::CSV]] for the csv data.
## usage
In any source page include the following:
The next table show the results:
\[[table class="myclass" format=dsv data="""
Custom|Amount|
Fulanito|134,34|
Menganito|234,56|
"""]]
This is my last acquisition:
[[table class="book_record" format=csv file="data/books/record1"]]
And the record1 page should be similar to:
"Title","Perl Best Practices"
"Author","Damian Conway"
"Publisher","OReilly"
The parameters are:
- _data_: Contains the values for the table
- _file_: Wiki page whom contains the data.
- _format_ (optional): format name of the data. By default is `auto` and the options are `csv` or `dsv`.
- _delimiter_ (optional): Define the character used for separated the fields. By default is the vertical barr "|" in DSV format and the comma "," for the CSV format.
- _class_ (optional): CSS class for the table html element
- _caption_ (optional): Text string with the table caption.
- _no\_header_: This switch disable the generation of table header elements. By default this switch is enabled, and the header cells come from the firts data line.
Obviously, the _data_ and _file_ parameters are mutually exclusive.
Note: the format detection mechanism is still very rudimentary.
