Re: Table Editor?

[go...@fred.net]

FWIW, I will often create the table of data in Excel or another spreadsheet program, then copy&paste into a text document in BBEdit and

1. replace Tabs with </td><td>
2. replace end of line with </tr><tr>
   

The rest is just the actual table tags, headers and styling.

Hi,

I'm needing something to make creating HTML tables a little easier.  I like BBEdit in general, but when it comes to the content creating and editing stages in tables, it really bogs me down to wade-through the code and keep trying to figure out where I am.  Any suggestions for something to make this a little slicker, and not more complicated?  A simple (cheap!) WYSIWYG app that will allow me to edit directly in the cells, not add a bunch of junk code, then copy/export back to BBEdit would be great.  Even CSS would be optional.  Or should I be looking more into using some kind of markdown within BBEdit for this? 

Many thanks,

Brian

Your method is almost enough. Two changes however. First start with:

<table><tr><td> and </table> and paste the Excel data just before the </table>.

The end of line replace in (2) should be </tr><tr><td> (you need a <td> before the first cell on each row). Also delete the extra </tr> just before the </table> after the mass find/replace of the end of lines.

This will bracket each row with <tr>...</tr> and each cell with <td>...</td>.

Or do this:

1. Highlight your pasted data

2. Select Markup -> Tables... -> Convert to Table

OOPS - The reference to the extra </tr> should, of course, be to the <tr>.
