HTML TableTool

This small HyperCard stack quickly converts data from spreadsheets or databases saved as standard tab-delimited text files to HTML-tagged files that produces beautiful tables with the great net browser Netscape 1.1.

Although the stack is produced with HyperCard 2.3, it should work with the more widespread 2.1 (you shouldn't really use anything older than that). If you can't get hold of HyperCard, you can get a standalone version of the stack from me.

The stack is freeware and can be copied freely with the complete package. Apart from this ReadMe file, you should find the HTML TableTool stack, the short tutorial TableTool.html, TestData.txt and NetBut.gif.

Feedback, please, to Bertil Holmberg, anbhg@maja.mas.malmo.se

Version history
Version 1.1.2 corrects my stupid mix up of Column and Row Headers. Row Headers can now be left aligned, something that can be useful for lists. A WIDTH up to 100 is tagged as % and values over 100 as pixels. Not wishing to insult anyone, "Foreign characters" is now Non-ASCII again.

Version 1.1.1 will apply the proper image tags to a string that includes .gif, .jpg or .jpeg. In the example above, Disk.gif will become <IMG SRC="Disk.gif">.

Version 1.1 (not released) adds the attribute CELLSPACING and an [optional] value for BORDER. Large tables, that exceeds the text field 30 kB limit, can be saved directly to disk. The CENTER tag now has a check box. The text of a caption is automatically selected (Non-ASCII characters typed into the text field will NOT be converted). A Help button gives some help.

If you find any problems with or have suggestions for HTML TableTool, please don't hesitate to contact me, at the address below. Many thanks to those of you who inspired me to these improved versions of the tool! Bertil Holmberg, Malmoe University Hospital, SWEDEN
