Questions answered by this recipe

  • Tables are not versatile enough, is there a way to convert them to table directives?

This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Description

This recipe will assist in converting a table to table directives.

It is recommended that you have one table in a page to use this. You can copy the table code and paste it into a scratch page and save. While viewing the page add to the url "?action=converttable". You will see the new code displayed inside your browser window. Select the new code (Click and drag to highlight in browser window), Copy (Control-c) the code and paste (Control-v) it into a new page.

This recipe is not perfect. It does not handle "colspan" which in tables are created with "|||||||||" etc. It will help greatly in converting your tables to simplified advanced table directives.

Copy converttable.phpΔ to your cookbook directory
