Hi, I am Valery.

I just released a first alpha version of SublimeTableEditor.
The code available on github.com/vkocubinsky/SublimeTableEditor.

SublimeTableEditor is a package for everyone who uses Sublime Editor for edit simple text tables in text mode, markdown mode, textile mode etc. SublimeTableEditor allow on easy way edit text table, it allow:

  • add/delete row
  • add/delete column
  • navigate with tab/shift tab
  • auto align number and text
  • specify alignment
  • move column left/right
    SublimeTableEditor is very similar to emacs org-mode table editor with the same key binding.

You can install SublimeTableEditor through Package Control wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control

  • Open Package Control
  • Select ‘Install Package’
  • Find and select ‘Table Editor’

I will happy get feeback from you as reply to this post.

Very nice! Thank you!

However I would like to have the emacs-like tables too … for example:

+--------+--------+
| some   | column |
+========+========+
| content|content |
+--------+--------+
|more    | more   |
+--------+--------+

That way I could directly use these tables for markdown/pandoc :smile:

Thank you for feeback!

I will look more close on pandoc tables, reStructuredText tables and textile tables. But, I guess it will be after 1.0 GA release of Table Editor.

Thanks!

Some people asked me about support pandoc styles. I have added support pandoc grid tables in version 0.11.0.

Now Table Editor supports next styles:

  • simple
  • emacs
  • grid (pandoc)

simple style is default style. You can change default table style if modify
user settings. You can open user settings with menu “Preferences -> Settings - User”.
You can set per syntax table style if modify syntax settings. For example when you edit Markdown file you can open syntax settings with menu
“Preferences -> Settings - More -> Syntax Specific - User”

There are list of available settings:

  • “table_editor_style” : “simple”
  • “table_editor_style” : “emacs”
  • “table_editor_style” : “grid”

Simple Style

    |-----------|-----|-----------|
    |    Name   | Age |   Phone   |
    |===========|=====|===========|
    | Anna      |  32 | 123456789 |
    |-----------|-----|-----------|    
    | Alexander |  28 | 987654321 |
    |-----------|-----|-----------|

Emacs Style

    |-----------+-----+-----------|
    |    Name   | Age |   Phone   |
    |===========+=====+===========|
    | Anna      |  32 | 123456789 |
    |-----------+-----+-----------|
    | Alexander |  28 | 987654321 |
    |-----------+-----+-----------|

Grid Style

    +-----------+-----+-----------+
    |    Name   | Age |   Phone   |
    +===========+=====+===========+
    | Anna      |  32 | 123456789 |
    +-----------+-----+-----------+
    | Alexander |  28 | 987654321 |
    +-----------+-----+-----------+

There is relative big change since version 0.10.0 , I tested main cases and looks that all works , but let me know if you find bug. The best way for report bug is add an issue to project github.com/vkocubinsky/SublimeTableEditor

Thanks!

I have released Table Editor 1.1.0.

There are new features:

  • predefined table syntax for some wiki syntax
  • auto detect table syntax by view syntax
  • switch between different table syntax on the fly with command palette
  • support MultiMarkdown column alignment “:—”, “:—:”, “—:”

For more detail look on the documentation github.com/vkocubinsky/SublimeTableEditor

If you using table_editor_style settings, all will work correct, but this settings declared as deprecated
and new preffered way to say Table Editor about table syntax is use table_editor_syntax

{
	// Set table syntax for Table Editor.
	// Valid options are: "Auto", "Simple", "EmacsOrgMode", "Pandoc", "MultiMarkdown",
	// 					  "reStructuredText", "Textile"
	//"table_editor_syntax": "Auto"
}

By default table_editor_syntax is Auto. Auto value detect table syntax by view syntax with next rules:

  • Markdown, MultiMarkdown -> MultiMarkdown
  • reStructuredText -> reStructuredText
  • Textile -> Textile
  • Other -> Simple

Thanks!

I really love this plugin, is there any way we can add custom ways the table’s are created, without tampering with the package files. It would be great if we could create tables with Box Drawing symbols like the following example.

┌───────────┬─────┬───────────┐ │ Name │ Age │ Phone │ ├───────────┼─────┼───────────┤ │ Anna │ 32 │ 123456789 │ ├───────────┼─────┼───────────┤ │ Alexander │ 28 │ 987654321 │ └───────────┴─────┴───────────┘
or

┌───────────┬─────┬───────────┐ │ Name │ Age │ Phone │ ╞═══════════╪═════╪═══════════╡ │ Anna │ 32 │ 123456789 │ ├───────────┼─────┼───────────┤ │ Alexander │ 28 │ 987654321 │ └───────────┴─────┴───────────┘

Thanks

This plugin has stopped working for me (see traceback below); I’m not sure what has changed. Unfortunately, this plugin has been abandoned, so does anyone know of an active fork or community where you can discuss issues?
