Table2Base is an extension which enables direct upload of data from wikipages to Opasnet Base. Data is displayed as a table in wikipage.

Usage

Example:

<t2b index="Year,Country" unit="#" obs="Mortality">
2001|Finland|1000
2002|Finland|2000
2001|Sweden|900
2002|Sweden|800
</t2b>
'''Displays:'''

Some old thinking

Syntax which idea is based on:

• Indexes:
  • year
  • country
• result
  • mortality

Possible solutions:

• we should not use exactly the same syntax as wikipages
• tag or parser?
• ←1 are explanation and observation really necessary? Could it look more like this? --13:59, 6 October 2010 Juha Villman

  ⇤2 : The title explanation is not necessary. Also the title for observations is only necessary if there are more than one observation columns. For example the data below could be in a format where there are three columns (Country, 2000, and 2001) and only one row for the data. In this case, it is necessary to tell that the heading for the two observation columns is Year, because this heading is used as index name (with locations 2000 and 2001). But is it true that the observation index name does not need to show up as a heading in the table. I changed the Template:Datum list accordingly. --Jouni 15:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
