Hi expat,

How often would you have to move these tables from HTML to tiddlywiki
and vice versa? If it is less often, you could use calc or excel to
turn your html table into a tiddlywiki table, which you can import
using Erics plugin:
http://tiddlytools.com/#CreateTiddlersFromCSV

Of course.. exporting back should work just as simple once you have a
well designed spreadsheet.

Tobias.

 Looking at that editable grid, you
 haven't by any means slogrammed any such for fields as well, have you?

I just did.  To use custom tiddler fields in the slice grid, use the
[[slices:...]] macro parameter, but precede fieldnames with =.
Thus, while [[slices:foo bar]] refers to slice values, [[slices:=foo
=bar]] refers to custom tiddler field values.  ... and, you can mix-
and-match slices and fields in the same grid: [[slices:=foo bar]]
denotes a custom field named foo and tiddler slice named bar.

BTW, Slo-gramming (slow programming) is a term invented by my friend
Paul Reiber and myself, to describe my style of development, wherein I
try to anticipate and implement the basic functionality to handle the
most common use-cases, and then wait for community feedback to learn
what additional features are desired.  The trick is to write the code
with as few assumptions as possible, so that major re-writes aren't
needed in order to make incremental improvements.

Hi Eric,

This is amazing! It opens so many possibilities for inline editing.
Now, if html allowed character rotation (by 90° anti-clockwise) that
header row would be perfect. Looking at that editable grid, you
haven't by any means slogrammed any such for fields as well, have you?

Tobias.
