Hello, Not really openSUSE related (but needed to edit our wiki page), I would like if you know any wysiwyg *table* editor for mediawiki? I mean really usable :-) I want to add or remove *columns* (on the licences page) and doing it by hand is a nightmare :-( thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

The last wysiwyg wiki editor I tried was FCKeditor. Unfortunately it has some bugs that silently destroy data (for example, it silently removes link= on images IIRC) and therefore make it unuseable.

Yes, editing tables can be *very* funny ;-)) I'd copy the wikitext into an editor, use a regular expression to edit it, and paste it back to the wiki. I know that's not wysiwyg, but it's much faster and easier than editing the table by hand ;-) If it is properly formatted, a block operation (like Ctrl-V selection in vi) could also work. In theory, you could also import the table rows into OpenOffice/ Libreoffice calc (as CSV, || as separator), edit it as needed and re- export it as CSV, again with || as separator. If everything else fails, write a small PHP or perl script that reads every line, splits it at || and prints the fields you want. That should be doable with 10 lines of code ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- The manual said the program requires Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

I just installed an extesion in firefox to do that, will see if it works :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://pizzanetti.fr -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
