NAME

wml::fmt::xtable - HTML tables through Advanced Syntax

SYNOPSIS

 #use wml::fmt::xtable
 <xtable table-options>
   initial text (e.g. <caption> ... </caption>).
   (X, Y) options for cell (X, Y)
   text for cell (X,Y)...
   ((X,Y)) options for header cell X,Y
   text for header cell (X,Y)...
 </xtable>

DESCRIPTION

This is just a WML wrapper for interfacing the freetable(1) utility which converts its advanced table syntax to plain HTML table markup code. See freetable(1) for more details.

CAVEATS

An error is reported if "xtable" body contains ePerl code, so the special variable "IPP_NOSYNCLINES" has to be written onto "#include" lines (see wml_p1_ipp(1)), and macros expanded by "mp4h"(1) must not print ePerl code.
