Just Table

Just table is a plugin for Pelican to create an easily table. Before this plugin, you can create tables like below way or maybe another way that I don't know :).

|   |   |   |   |   |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|   |   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |   |
|   |   |   |   |   |

It looks easy, but sometimes you want to create a basic table quickly by the different way. Actually, I hate above way. Now, time to the just table's way.

Usage

• Basic table

[jtable]
Year,Make,Model,Length
1994,Ford,E350,2.34
2000,Mercury,Cougar,2.38
[/jtable]

Year	Make	Model	Length
1994	Ford	E350	2.34
2000	Mercury	Cougar	2.38

• More complicated

[jtable]
Year,Make,Model,Description,Price
1997,Ford,E350,ac,3000.00
1999,Chevy,Venture Extended Edition,,4900.00
1999,Chevy,Venture Extended Edition and Very Large,,5000.00
1996,Jeep,Grand Cherokee,MUST SELL!,4799.00
[/jtable]

Year	Make	Model	Description	Price
1997	Ford	E350	ac	3000.00
1999	Chevy	Venture Extended Edition		4900.00
1999	Chevy	Venture Extended Edition and Very Large		5000.00
1996	Jeep	Grand Cherokee	MUST SELL!	4799.00

• Table with no heading

[jtable th="0"]
row1col1,row1col2,row1col3
row2col1,row2col2,row2col3
row3col1,row3col2,row3col3
[/jtable]

row1col1	row1col2	row1col3
row2col1	row2col2	row2col3
row3col1	row3col2	row3col3

• Table with caption without heading

[jtable caption="This is caption" th="0"]
row1col1,row1col2,row1col3
row2col1,row2col2,row2col3
row3col1,row3col2,row3col3
[/jtable]

	This is caption
row1col1	row1col2	row1col3
row2col1	row2col2	row2col3
row3col1	row3col2	row3col3

or if you want to head and caption both, you can delete th="0"

• Table with auto index and It'll start from 1

[jtable ai="1"]
head1,head2,head3
row1col1,row1col2,row1col3
row2col1,row2col2,row2col3
row3col1,row3col2,row3col3
row4col1,row4col2,row4col3 
[/jtable]

No.	head1	head2	head3
1	row1col1	row1col2	row1col3
2	row2col1	row2col2	row2col3
3	row3col1	row3col2	row3col3
4	row4col1	row4col2	row4col3

• Custom separator for specific table

[jtable separator="|"]
head1|head2|head3
row1col1|row1col2|row1col3
row2col1|row2col2|row2col3
row3col1|row3col2|row3col3
row4col1|row4col2|row4col3
[/jtable]

Configuration

Custom template

You can customize table look by specifying JTABLE_TEMPLATE in your pelicanconf.py. For example to match your bootstrap theme:

JTABLE_TEMPLATE = """
<table class="table table-hover">
    {% if caption %}
    <caption> {{ caption }} </caption>
    {% endif %}
    {% if th != 0 %}
    <thead>
    <tr>
        {% if ai == 1 %}
        <th> No. </th>
        {% endif %}
        {% for head in heads %}
        <th>{{ head }}</th>
        {% endfor %}
    </tr>
    </thead>
    {% endif %}
    <tbody>
        {% for body in bodies %}
        <tr>
            {% if ai == 1 %}
            <td> {{ loop.index }} </td>
            {% endif %}
            {% for entry in body %}
            <td>{{ entry }}</td>
            {% endfor %}
        </tr>
        {% endfor %}
    </tbody>
</table>
"""

Custom separator

Custom separator for all tables also can be specified:
