Hi all,
I have written a small perlscript, that preprocesses tables
and allows to
- add the values in selected collums
- to replace a table entry by the result of an expression
Lines between
.(
and
.)
are processed.
The ".(" line may contain the numbers of collums in which add
That reminds me of an idea for a preprocessor I had called xtbl, which
could convert between common plain-text table formats... tbl(1), TSV, rST /
Markdown, and HTML.
