Hi Hans,
Is there any possible way to use the wiki-style tables like:
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^
| Item 1 | Item 2 |
| Item 3 | Item 4 |
(Probably with some wrapper)
Perhaps this boils down to asking if it is possible to (re)define
"special" characters, within a region of text.
doing that in the running text is asking for troubles (catcode mess)
if there is real interest in that kind of stuff we can make a module
that does something
\starttext
\startluacode
function commands.wiki_to_table(str) -- wrong namespace
str = string.gsub(str,"%^ *[\n\r]","\\NC\\NR\n")
str = string.gsub(str,"%^","\\NC ")
str = string.gsub(str,"| *[\n\r]","\\NC\\NR\n")
str = string.gsub(str,"|","\\NC ")
tex.sprint(tex.ctxcatcodes,"\\startTABLE")
tex.sprint(tex.ctxcatcodes,str)
tex.sprint(tex.ctxcatcodes,"\\stopTABLE")
end
\stopluacode
\def\startwikitable
{\bgroup
\obeylines
\dostartwikitable}
\long\def\dostartwikitable#1\stopwikitable
{\ctxlua{commands.wiki_to_table([[\detokenize{#1}]])}%
\egroup}
\startwikitable
^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^
| Item 1 | Item 2 |
| Item 3 | Item 4 |
\stopwikitable
\startTABLE
\NC Text 1 \NC Text 2 \NC \NR
\NC Text 3 \NC Text 4 \NC \NR
\stopTABLE
\stoptext
