Well.. there's nothing saying that the source file of names/numbers can't be a wiki page itself. It's not terribly hard to parse a wiki page especially if it's void of special markups. Thus the multiple column thing becomes a read-only view of the data. With extra work, a special markup could be done to produce the multi-column list with data embedded within the markup begin/end so that this could all be done in one page (with a little bit of effort). _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
