[[template id=plugin name=table author="[[VictorMoral]]"]]
|
||
[[tag type/format]]
|
||
|
||
This plugin supplies a `table` [[PreprocessorDirective]] to build html tables from data in CSV (comma-separated values) or DSV (delimiter-separated values) format.
|
||
|
||
It needs the perl module [[cpan Text::CSV]] for the CSV data.
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
In any source page include the following:
|
||
|
||
The next table shows 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","O’Reilly"
|
||
|
||
The parameters are:
|
||
|
||
- _data_: Values for the table
|
||
- _file_: Wiki page containing the data.
|
||
- _format_ (optional): format name of the data. By default is `auto` and the options are `csv` or `dsv`.
|
||
- _delimiter_ (optional): The character used to separate fields. By default, DSV format uses a pipe (`|`), and CSV uses a comma (`,`).
|
||
- _class_ (optional): CSS class for the table html element
|
||
- _caption_ (optional): Text string for the table caption.
|
||
- _no\_header_: This switch disables the generation of table header (`<th>`) elements. By default, the `table` directive uses the first data line as column headers.
|
||
|
||
The _data_ and _file_ parameters are mutually exclusive.
|
||
|
||
Note: the automatic format detection mechanism is still very rudimentary.
|
||
|
||
## Changelog
|
||
|
||
### version 0.5
|
||
|
||
* Remove a call to an inexistent [[cpan Text::CSV]] method.
|
||
* Added the sep_char parameter.
|
||
