Renders tables by using itemlists instead of the DokuWiki syntax (very helpful for big tables with a lot of text).

This plugin is based on the plugin dbtables originally written by Stephen C. Many thanks.

Syntax and Usage

<itemtable c=name,[name, ...];[options]>
.
.
.
</itemtable>

<itemtable c=Column1,Column2,Column3;fdelim=:;header=Titel-Header>

Options

Option	Description	Format	Default
c=name,[name,…]	Names fields of the table which are separated by a comma; The order of the colums follows the orders how the columns are listed here		For legacy reasons, the c{…}=colum could be listed for each individual column individually.
fdelim	Field Delimeter - representing how each DW-DB field is seperated	Character	:
header	Table Heading - representing the line in which a table name is defined	Character
twidth	Width of the HTML table	integer	Undefined - Dokuwiki decides
norender	Outputs the DW-tables in Dokuwiki text format	Charactier	Undefined

Cellinput over several lines could be enclosed by the pair <tablecell> and </tablecell>.

Note that with twidth, and norender, you must assign some sort of value, for example, norender=1.

Examples

Standard table

<itemtable header=test;c=column_a;c=column_b,column_c;c=column_d;fdelim=:>

_line_a
column_a:text_a1
column_b:<tablecell>text_a2 \\ This is an example
how to fill a cell over several lines</tablecell>

_line_b
column_a:<tablecell>text_b1 \\ \\ As you can see, local DokuWiki CRLF sequences  
can be added to force a linebreak in the cell. Other formatting
elements could be used as well.
</tablecell>
column_c:text_b2 

</itemtable>

Result

Standard table not rendered

<itemtable header=test;c=column_a;c=column_b,column_c;c=column_d;fdelim=:;norender=1>

_line_a
column_a:text_a1
column_b:<tablecell>text_a2 \\ This is an example
how to fill a cell over several lines</tablecell>

_line_b
column_a:<tablecell>text_b1 \\ \\ As you can see, local DokuWiki CRLF sequences  
can be added to force a linebreak in the cell. Other formatting
elements could be used as well.
</tablecell>
column_c:text_b2 

</itemtable>

Result

^test^^^^^
^ ^column_a ^column_b ^column_c ^column_d ^
|line_a  |text_a1  |text_a2 \\ This is an example how to fill a cell over several lines  |   |   |

Suggestions / Bugs

Is there a way to put spaces in the column headings?
Eliminate the need for the first column as a description (i.e. no “_thing”) just start with the first named column.
Is there a way to put one entry over multiple cells (like HTML:rowspan or colspan) ?

DW plugin in table

I would like to use the "do plugin" in a cell of the table:

ToDo:<do USER DATE>TEXT</do>

Unfortunately it will not work. The do-plugin will not write any entry in his sqlite-database.

Any idea how to get it to work? _{24.08.2011 Joachim}

Table sortable and searchtable

It would be fine to have the table sortable and searchable.

I tried the following with searchtablejs plugin and sortablejs plugin, ~~but is not working~~ :!: Sorry, it is working, GREAT!:

<sortable>
<searchtable>
<itemtable .......>
......
......
</itemtable>
</searchtable>
</sortable>
