    Default New tables, converter

    So, a while back (meaning before the change in formatting), I asked a friend of mine who codes if he'd make a converted for me, so I could just c/p my old tables.


    He made one and stuck it as a webpage. Then he asked me to share it with you guys, since he thinks it'll generally be helpful.

    He stuck the source here, if anyone wants to look it over.


    Quick note on use: Change the { in a broken [table=head] tag back to a bracket, and the top row's formatting changes to [th] from [td], and changes the header to be different from the text.

    Thanks, this was very handy.

    I'd have had to write one myself otherwise

    Very handing seeming, but the convert button doesn't seem to do anything for me. I click it and nothing happens. Any idea what the problem is?

    Might be javascript. Do you have it off?


    Alternatively, is the table inserted the old style?

    It's the old style definately. It could be the javascript part. I'll try again when there is someone more computer smart at my house.

    I just played around with the table converter some, and it seems pretty buggy.

    Having just [table] instead of [table=head] seems to cause it to die. I'm guessing this is Duck's issue, his table just didn't have a head element, and the converter doesn't know what to do with that.

    Having a newline after [table] but before any data goes in (which is something the old forums did support) results in the table head being empty and the intended header becoming the second row.

    A table using colspan doesn't cause it to not work, but it also just sticks the colspan code into the td (while afaik there's no way to get a colspan to work in the current bbcode, the converter should at least remove it).

    Also having extra new line characters causes it to add in extra blank rows, which will make tables look inexplicably ugly when people try to use it.


    for example this:
    Spoiler
    Show

    (pretend like the table=head and /table commands are at the start and end of this snippet, the board doesn't like them even inside a code element for some reason)
    Code:
    this | is | a | test
    
    this | is | a | test
    
    this | is | a | test
    this | is | a | test
    this | is | a | test


    turns into this:
    Spoiler
    Show
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test



    Also looking at the output, the converter should make table="class:grid" the default, most people are going to want tables where you can actually see the borders.

    The correct output should look like:
    Spoiler
    Show
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test
    this is a test

    Hm. Passed along to the guy who did it. I'll let you know what he says.

    Might have to do with it being made for "this|is|a|test" instead of "this | is | a | test", though.

    Hi, very useful tool — but I have a small bug report.

    It may just be my tables but it seems to add an extra 1 cell line at the end. Coloured Purple in this example.

    Occasionally you also get some additional guff. Coloured Red in this example.

    Yeah that update seems to fix most of the issues.

    Using just [table] instead of [table=head] works now (and doesn't use the [th] tags, which is good), but doesn't set the table class to grid.

    Other classes are possible: outer_border also exists

    Thank your friend for me. I had a couple monstrous tables that needed updating, and this made it incredibly simple.

    I did find one issue. It doesn't matter to me, but this seems to strip out any formatting that was in the old cells. It might be an issue for some people.

    This is really useful. I have a ridiculous number of posts and games with tables in plus my Useful Resources post with tracking tables in that I updated manually. This has prompted me to go through it again and add some small improvements.
