Support to index tables?

[fjorgemota]

Hello.

I'm testing Portia and I found that there is none actual way to index a table.

By 'index a table', I think something like allowing a element with various parents (something like table > tr (which can vary) > td based on a determinated index, or something like it).

I think that, for some cases, this is useful, like for indexing a page with tables. However, I not tested Slybot to see if it support that feature.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

i think u need to annotate the fields has variants (instead of base) (this is how i do it on scrapinghub.com)

theres a forum post that describes it
http://support.scrapinghub.com/topic/194782-scrape-page-with-list-of-items/

portia doesnt have splitvariantmiddleware but i think it will be added support for it
