Spreadsheet to Table Plugin

This was an extremely quick project to turn spreadsheet data into an XHTML table. The plugin is quite simple to use, just copy some data from a spreadsheet ( or the visible part of an XHTML table) and paste it into a blog post between the tags [table] and [/table] (make sure that columns are tab separated and rows are on their own line). This is a no frills plugin. The first row is used as the column names and is added to a thead tag. Anything can be added to the [table] tag after “table” and it will become the table’s caption. EX [table "This is an example table"]

So this:

  1. [table "This is an example table"]
  2. gf sfg sfcx dfg
  3. asd sd dsfs
  4. xcv fds sgdf
  5. dfg dfg dfg
  6. dfg dfg dfg
  7. [/table]

Becomes:

“This is an example table”
gf sfg sfcx dfg
asd sd dsfs
xcv fds sgdf
dfg dfg dfg
dfg dfg dfg

Installation:

  1. Copy and Paste the contents of the texbox below into a .php file.
  2. Upload and activate.
