Table generation
Table generation by columns
The .table function takes a single block argument which is an iterable of tables.
The result of the call is a new table that combines the supplied tables by columns.
In the following example, .repeat is used, which, like other supported loops, returns the results from each iteration as an iterable.
Example 1
.table
.repeat {3}
n:
| Column .n |
|-----------|
| Cell .n:1 |
| Cell .n:2 |
| Cell .n:3 || Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Cell 1:1 | Cell 2:1 | Cell 3:1 |
| Cell 1:2 | Cell 2:2 | Cell 3:2 |
| Cell 1:3 | Cell 2:3 | Cell 3:3 |
Table generation by rows
The .tablebyrows docs ↗ function takes two arguments: an optional iterable of headers and an iterable of rows.
Example 2
.var {headers}
- Name
- Age
- City
.tablebyrows {.headers}
- - John
- 25
- NY
- - Lisa
- 32
- LA
- - Mike
- 19
- CHI| Name | Age | City |
|---|---|---|
| John | 25 | NY |
| Lisa | 32 | LA |
| Mike | 19 | CHI |
Example 3
If no headers are provided, the table will have no header row. Additionally, dynamic content can be used to generate cells:
.tablebyrows
.repeat {3}
y:
.repeat {3}
x:
Cell .x:.y| Cell 1:1 | Cell 2:1 | Cell 3:1 |
| Cell 1:2 | Cell 2:2 | Cell 3:2 |
| Cell 1:3 | Cell 2:3 | Cell 3:3 |
