Michael Osipov updated VELTOOLS-102: ------------------------------------ Fix Version/s: (was: 2.x) > Add capabilities to simplify handling of complex HTML tables > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: VELTOOLS-102 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELTOOLS-102 > Project: Velocity Tools > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: GenericTools > Environment: No specific requirements on the environment are known > Reporter: Matthias Laux > Attachments: htmltable.zip > > Original Estimate: 1m > Remaining Estimate: 1m > > This is a feature request for a tool that simplifies the handling of complex > HTML using Velocity. The basic idea is to take the pain out of using complex > hierarchies of Velocity macros to place HTML tags such as <tr> and <td> in > the right places for tables with non-trivial structures (using e. g. colspan > and rowspan). This is made possible by handling the logical table data > structure in Java code and by using a dedicated Table class to communicate > information in between the Java application and the Velocity context. > A short discussion thread can be found in the forum using this link: > http://velocity.markmail.org/search/?q=table+cell+laux#query:table%20cell%20laux+page:1+mid:du3pucnapp6ezbzp+state:results > Based on that initial contact, follow-up discussions with Nathan Bubna took > place over the last few months. Effectively, a 1.0 version of this tool was > already built by Matthias Laux, the submitter of this reature request issue. > The sources will be attached. > Additional information on what the tool does and what the code actually looks > like can also be found in this article: > http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2008/jw-01-htmltables.html > Remaining work needs to be done for example on implementing unit tests. The > effort estimate relates to these. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@velocity.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@velocity.apache.org
