Table plugin#

This Table plugin implements additional table support for JSPWiki pages.

• Multi-line table editing to ease the entry of more complex tables.
• Additional syntax to merge cells horizontally and/or vertically. (aka colspan and rowspan)
• The auto-numbering feature to automatically insert the row-number
• CSS style formatting for odd/even rows, headers, etc.

--DF

Support for the standard JSPWiki table syntax.#

• A new line of text starting with a pipe sign ('|') indicates the start of a new table row.
• Each line corresponds with a horizontal row in a table having one or more table cells.
  • A single pipe signs ('|') starts a new table cell.
  • A double pipe signs ('||') starts a heading table cell with different formatting.
• End the table with a line which does not start with a pipe sign.

Additional table syntax#

• Use '|<' or '||<' to collapse a cell with the previous cell so it spans multiple columns.
• Use '|^' or '||^' to collapse a cell with the cell above so that it spans multiple rows.
• The '#' sign inside a table cell translates to the current row number.
  You can escape the '#' character with a tilde, like this: #.

Example:

|Nr |A |< |C |<
|#  |a |b |c |d
|#  |^ |b |^ |d

Multi-line table editing#

This feature was implemented to overcome the limitation of having to edit a complete table row on a single line of text.

• When a line starts with '|' or '||', multi-line table editing is assumed.
  • As soon as a new table cell is encountered on the same line, single-line editing is taken, switching back to the standard wiki syntax.
  • However, if the line contains only one cell, it is assumed that the table cell is continued on the next line.
    • When the next line starts with '|' or '||', a new cell on the same row is started.
      Otherwise the line is added to the previous table cell
    • All subsequent lines starting with '| or '||' are merged into the same table row.
    • An empty line ends the table row.

This way, it should be more easy to have lots of text, and even wiki markup, merged into one table-cell. Table cells are listed underneath each other, similar to a bulleted list.

You can combine this multi line syntax with the '|<', '|^' and '#' stuff as well as mix it with the more compact standard wiki table syntax.

Example

|| Heading 1 
|| Heading 2

| ''Gobble'' starts a new row!
* and some more text with wiki markup, all in the same table cell
| Bar

| [Main]     
| [SandBox]

Additional table formatting can be turned on via plugin parameters:#

• style : adds table level css-style, e.g. style:'border=2px solid black;'
• autonum : on|off
• dataStyle : adds css-style to all table data cells (prefixed by single pipe signs '|')
• headerStyle : adds css-style to all table header cells (prefixed by double pipe signs '||')
• styleEvenRows : adds css-style to the even rows, e.g. styleEvenRows='background: #ffff00;'
• styleOddRows : add css-style to the odd rows, e.g. styleOddRows='color: red;'

Usage#

[{Table
...
}]

or

[{brushed.jspwiki.tableplugin.Table  autonum='off' dataStyle='color:blue;'
...
}]

More ideas #

• sort : tbd, make table sortable through some clientside javascript
• filter style of table plugin, delimitted by 4 pipes

       |||| styleEvenRows='color:red;'
       | a |b
       | c |d
       ||||
