From 088b1993fb6c6ed014a95e93d7c07f68218c7777 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Grenrus Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2017 17:13:14 +0200 Subject: Grid Tables (#718) * Add table examples * Add table types and adopt simple parser Simple parser is done by Giovanni Cappellotto (@potomak) in https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/577 It seems to support single fine full tables, so far from full RST-grid tables, but it's good start. Table type support row- and colspans, but obviously parser is lacking. Still TODO: - Latex backend. Should we use multirow package https://ctan.org/pkg/multirow?lang=en? - Hoogle backend: ? * Implement grid-tables * Refactor table parser * Add two ill-examples * Update CHANGES.md * Basic documentation for tables * Fix documentation example --- doc/markup.rst | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+) (limited to 'doc') diff --git a/doc/markup.rst b/doc/markup.rst index d0b9392d..acabaa28 100644 --- a/doc/markup.rst +++ b/doc/markup.rst @@ -1078,6 +1078,26 @@ If the output format supports it, the mathematics will be rendered inside the documentation.

Grid tables are described with a visual grid made up of the characters "-", "=", "|", and "+". The hyphen ("-") is used for horizontal lines (row separators). The equals sign ("=") may be used to separate optional header rows from the table body. The vertical bar ("|") is used for vertical lines (column separators). The plus sign ("+") is used for intersections of horizontal and vertical lines. :: + + -- | This is a grid table: + -- + -- +------------------------+------------+----------+----------+ + -- | Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 | + -- | (header rows optional) | | | | + -- +========================+============+==========+==========+ + -- | body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 | + -- +------------------------+------------+----------+----------+ + -- | body row 2 | Cells may span columns. | + -- +------------------------+------------+---------------------+ + -- | body row 3 | Cells may | \[ | + -- +------------------------+ span rows. | f(n) = \sum_{i=1} | + -- | body row 4 | | \] | + -- +------------------------+------------+---------------------+ + Anchors ~~~~~~~ -- cgit v1.2.3
