Shiraz Plugin: Lets use Tiddlywiki with More Ease

[Mohammad Rahmani]

• Do you like to convert your old static/plain table in a tiddler into a sortable table just by calling a macro  (no edit, no hassles,  ...)
• Do you like to drop a CSV text file into tiddlywiki and in a second generate a dynamic table?
• Do you like to copy paste part of a worksheet from Excel, Google Sheet, Libre Office Calc, ... into a tiddler and TW generate a nice sortable table for you?
• Do you like to create tables from plain texts just by calling a simple macro?
• Do you like to create task lists from plain text (just like GitHub)?
• Write you tasks/todo as you write on a piece of paper and then get a task list! Do you like this?

Sit back, relax, and let Shiraz do all the work  ;-)

Stay tuned, Shiraz on Tiddlywiki 5.0.2 is coming!

Best wishes

Yes all of the above,

This kind of thing is often time consuming,

Looking forward to it.

Thanks in advance

W00t!  For a late-night infomercial junkie like me, this is like the famous Ginsu knife offer (as you were wondering, @PMario :-)  -totally irresistible.  Can't wait to try it!

If I order now, will you send me a second one absolutely free?

Apply Column Formatting

You can use format parameters and apply different formatting to different columns!

Create a quick table from complex text! Apply formatting like text, transclude and code.

See how you can simply create a wikitext formatting table on the fly!

Taskify plain text like GitHub

Screencast 05

This is an example showing how to simply create a static task list.

See how simple plain text can be converted to tasks

Once again @Mohammad: you have kinda blown my mind with this demonstration of possibilities.  Before i get too excited tho, i want to make sure i understand:

Regarding "Quick-Table-Shiraz-Colum formatting and table class-T04.mp4" demo, i am wondering: would it be possible to apply such formatting to tabular data imported from a Google Sheet (via the amazing TiddlyGoo plugin) at time of data import/ tiddler creation?  

As you may know, TiddlyGoo enables creating a set of tiddlers based on rows of data imported from a gSheet -and if those tiddlers could be formatted on-the-fly with a layout such as you have demonstrated here (by inserting that <<macrocall>> in a certain column of the spreadsheet, i guess?), then that would be the perfect complement to this data import process.

If this is indeed possible Mohammad, prey tell how, and i shall be ever in your debt!

Hi Walt,

 I will upload an experimental version to give you a try by yourself.

But the mechanism is as below:

1. read a plain text (here the one between <!--- ... --->)
2. parse it into lines 
3. parse a line into columns (using delimiter)
4. display it using your format of choice   [this is what you asked!] this part lets us format a column. this is the same as dynamic table template

So regarding your question: we need to have data as plain text inside a tiddler to read and parse! TiddlyGoo is a sophisticated plugin!

Mark S and Mat can explain how this is possible, but I do not know if you can directly use the quick table or not!

Best wishes

Mohammad

Mohammad, I am so excited all of these csv-based table features! 

If we include a title field, can we easily get tiddlers excised out from such a pasted table?

Do you mean to feed a tiddler by giving its title as input and the table-csv creating a table?  Answer: YES

Do you mean to create a new tiddler based on the input data block (copy pasted data from an external spreadsheet like Excel)? Answer is NO
