Tables

Similar to embedded code snippets and text diagrams you can create complex table structures using the generalised syntax as follows:

(start table Title, Caption [,options])

       --- table body ----

(end table)

Example

ND+ supports a number of different table formatting styles for the table body, the default being nd:

• simple - Simple Table Format.
• nd - ND Table Format.
• basic - ND Basic Table Format.
• csv - CSV Table Format.

Options

The following style options are available allowing aspects of the table import format and/or output layout to be controlled:

format=type

Input style, where type is one of the following:

nd	Default, ND+ style ND Table Format.
simple	Pipe seperated values Simple Table Format.
csv	Comma seperated values CSV Table Format.
wiki	Reserved for future development.

delimiter=charDelimiter override.
For simple formatted tables, allows an alternative to pipe (|), which may be any non whitespace character.
For nd formatted tables, allows an alternative to bang (!) as a row delimiter and which may be any non-whitespace character except [ and ].  Note, for normal treatment of the [ character escape using ‘\[‘.
For csv formatted tables, allows an alternative to a comma (, ), which may be any non whitespace character except single quote (‘), double quote (“) and brackets ({) and (}).header=noDisables header generation in simple and csv formatted tables.link=noDisable links (i.e.  <text>) within the table cell text from being processed.border=typeOverride the default border type using one of none, single or double.frame=typeOverride the default cell frame type using one of none, single or double.

Note: Unknown options shall be ignored.
