[[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","O’Reilly"
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
