Report Issues ................... |table-mode-report-issues| + +=============================================================================== +INTRODUCTION *table-mode-introduction* + +Table Mode is simple plugin that makes building tables in vim a breeze. It is +inspired from tpope's auto aligning script for creating tables in vim - +https://gist.github.com/tpope/287147, which in turn utilizes the Tabular +Plugin. + +=============================================================================== +GETTING STARTED *table-mode-getting-started* + +Create Table on the fly: + Using Table Mode is dead simple. You simply start typing on a new line + with the table separator - |table-mode-separator|, and you just type + away! The plugin does the rest automatically for you as you type. With + each additional separator you add, it aligns the table properly, + without having to do anything else. + + Table Mode now supports gfm style tables and allows to define column + alignments with the aid of placing ':' (configured using + |g:table_mode_align_char|) on the table header border appropriately to + align content left or right. + + The table mode is disabled by default and you can enter table mode + using |table-mode-toggle-map| or you can also enable it permanently + using |table-mode-always-active| if you wish though not recommended. + + Table Mode allows for creation of tables within comments, it looks at + the 'commentstring' setting to identify whether the current line is + commented. + +Tableize content: + Table Mode enables conversion of delimited text into tables. Again + like table creation, this is also applicable within comments. + +Move between cells : + Now you can move between cells using table mode motions + '<Leader>t[hjkl]' to move left | down | up | right cells respectively. + You can use |table-mode-map-prefix| option to define the prefix + mapping to be used before 'hjkl'. The left | right motions wrap around + the table and move to the next | previous row after the last | first + cell in the current row if one exists. + +Manipulation of tables: + Tableize provides 3 easy ways to quickly manipulate tables. + + 1. Cell Text Object : A text object for table cell + defined by |table-mode-cell-text-object|. You can use it with an + operator (d,c,y) to manipulate it easily. If you delete the cell using + this, it will delete the table separator along with it so if you type + out some new stuff, you will have to re-add it, which triggers a + re-alignment and the table would be formatted again. + + 2. Delete Column : Delete an entire table column using + |table-mode-delete-column-map| . + + 3. Delete Row : Delete an entire table row using + |table-mode-delete-row-map| + +Table Formulas: + Table Mode now has support for formulas like a spreadsheet. There + are 2 ways of defining formulas : + + You can add formulas using |:TableAddFormula| or the mapping + |<Leader>tfa| defined by the option + |table-mode-add-formula-map| from within a table cell, which + will ask for input on the cmd-line with a 'f=' prompt. The + input formula will be appended to the formula line if one + exists or a new one will be created with the input formula + taking the current cell as the target cell. The formula line + is evaluated immediately to reflect the results. + + You can directly also add / manipulate formula expressions in + the formula line. The formula line is a commented line right + after the table, beginning with 'tmf:' (table mode formula). + eg) '# tmf: $3=$2*$1'. You can add multiple formulas on the + line separated with a ';' eg) '# tmf: $3=$2*$1;$4=$3/3.14' + + You can evaluate the formula line using |:TableEvalFormulaLine| or the + mapping |<Leader>tfe| defined by the option |table-mode-expr-calc-map| + +Formula Expressions : + Expressions are of the format '$target = formula'. + + The target can be of 2 forms : + + '$n': This matches the table column number 'n'. So the formula + would be evaluated for each cell in that column and the result + would be placed in it. You can use negative indice to + represent column relative to the last, -1 being the last. + + '$n,m': This matches the table cell n,m (row, column). So in + this case the formula would be evaluated and the result will + be placed in this cell. You can also use negative values to + refer to cells relative to the size, -1 being the last (row or + column). + + The formula can be a simple mathematical expression involving cells + which are also defined by the same format as that of the target cell. + Apart from basic mathematical expressions, table mode also provides + special functions 'Sum' and 'Average'. Both these functions take a + range as input. A range can be of two forms : + + 'n:m': This represents cells in the current column from row + 'n' through 'm'. If 'm' is negative it represents 'm' row + above the current row (of the target cell). + + 'r1,c1:r2,c2': This represents cells in the table from cell + r1,c1 through cell r2,c2 (row, column). + + Examples : + $2 = $1 * $1 + $2 = $1 / $1,3 + $1,2 = $1,1 * $1,1 + $5,1 = Sum(1:-1) + $5,3 = Sum(1,2:5,2) + +=============================================================================== +OPTIONS *table-mode-options* + +Overview: + |table-mode-loaded| .............
