javascript macro: Linebreaks

[juan erasmo gomez]

Hi

I'm writing a small macro to create a table. The idea behind the macro is that I'll receive the number of columns as a parameter and work from there.
So far I've been able to create the first line of the table, but I haven't found a way to add a line break and to add the second row of the table:

/*\
title: TrxMacro2
type: application/javascript
module-type: macro
\*/
(function(){

/*jslint node: true, browser: true */
/*global $tw: false */
"use strict";

exports.name = "trxmacro";

exports.params = [
 {name: "columns"}
];

/*
Run the macro
*/
exports.run = function(columns) {
 var ret+="|";
 var i;
 for(i=0; i < columns; i++) {
 ret+=" column "+(i+1) + " |";
 }
 ret+="\n";
 return ret;
};

})();

How can I add a linebreak to the return of my macro?

Thanks,

Hi Juan,
you cannot see single linebreaks in tiddlerwiki5, only double ones. So to create two rows of a table

ret = "|a1|b1|\n|a2|b2|\n\n"

all the best

Hi Juan,

you must add a newline for every row.
And each row must itself start a row with a "|" pipe symbol.
See below:

ret+="|column "+(i+1) + " |"+"\n";

That should do what you want
