Is there a convenient way to create TaBlE tables from Lua? If so, where can I read about it?
Good evening, Daniel!
[-1] Isn’t TaBlE deprecated? http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview
I didn't know that!
[0] If you aim for convenience, wouldn’t you rather want to switch to \[start|stop]tabulate? Its syntax is very similar and there are a few examples to learn from in the context source code.
My particular situation is a bit more involved. I want to put SQL in my ConTeXt source and have it run it against my database and format the result nicely in my document. I think I see how to do it, I just need to be able to take the parsed output and make the visually appealing table.
Have a look at http://robitex.wordpress.com/2011/02/22/postgresql-gestisce-i-dati-lualatex-... It's in italian & latex & postgres, but pretty clear. -- luigi
