Phil Hawksworth and I scratched an itch and came up with
a "Fat" slice plugin.
Like the default TiddlyWiki slices the first column is an index.
Unlike the default slices, you can have multiple columns, and
access a column by name, the names coming from the title row.
This is probably best explained with an example:
in the table:
| |!column1 |!column2 |!column3 |
|row1| a | b | c |
|row2| d | e | f |
|row3| g | h | i |
in a tiddler called "Data", the macro:
<<slice [[Data]] "row1" "column2">>
returns "b".
There's a version in a TiddlyWiki to play with, here:
http://whatfettle.com/2008/07/FatSlicePlugin/
You can get the latest version from subversion:
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/PaulDowney/plugins/FatSlicePlugin/
http://is.gd/4uHy
and via http://plugins.tiddlywiki.org
(sadly no permalink!)
I dare say there are other ways of accessing the
wide values, via the tiddler macro and view templates,
and we could consider wikifying the values into plain text,
but for now, it is what it is.
Enjoy!
