[Solved] GUI editor for Wiki Tables
« on: June 24, 2014, 08:53:59 am »
Not a pascal question I know...

Anyone know of a GUI for editing/creating Wiki tables?   I would have thought this would be a common request, but a search online failed to find anything useful (various OpenOffice plugins exist, but they all add bucket loads of formatting - which I don't want, various online tools exist - but they offer me nothing I don't get from clicking "Show Preview").

I'm this close to writing one myself.  A Memo (for the wiki markup), an editable StringGrid and a mechanism to either populate the grid from the markup, or to generate the markup from the grid contents...

Yep - fpspreadsheet [1] provides a wikitable writer. See either the spready or fpsgrid demo which allows you to save your spreadsheet to wikitable format.

*cough* Embarrassingly enough I didn't get around to trying out the FPSpreadsheet demo.  Instead I found an online editor that does all I wanted.

I want to bring up this old thread again because the wikitable writer of fpspreadsheet supports now (revision 3606) all cell formats including text alignment, text and background color, column width, row height, merged cells, font styles (except for text rotation which is not available in the wikitables themselves).
