This is the new feature that produced all the troubles in the previous post.

old solution

Inserting a table using textile is really hard. For example, to build this table:

problem	solution	cost
I lost my keys	Build a new key for each lost key, change the locks if you are paranoid	a lot of money and time
I am tired	Go to bed	some time

You have to write this:

|_. problem |_. solution |_. cost |
| I lost my keys | Build a new key for each lost key, change the locks if you are paranoid | a lot |
| I am tired | Go to bed | time |

This isn’t very natural, is it ?

new solution

You just write

|table_name|

And you get a nice little table like this:

title	other title
new value	a super list like this

Which you can edit on the page itself. To add/remove rows/columns, there are buttons on the top which appear when you hover them:

To edit text, you just click on the grid:

And if you want a multi-line input field, you shift-click:

And you get a nice list like this when you press “ok” :

align

Did I mention that you can left-align the table using ”<.” (center wiht ”=.”, right-align with ”>.”) ?

|<.table_name|

internals

The text for the table is stored as json inside a dynamic attribute named after the table (“table_name” => “d_table_name”).

You can display the table from another node by using:

|345.table_name|

PS

For this table magic to work, make sure you load the “tablekit” and “prototype” javascript librairies:
