Hi,

I got some mails regarding to Hypersearch > GetAllMatches which can transform a table written as a TAB b TAB NEWLINE ... to an HTML formatted <table>. The question was whether it is possible to write a snippet like 'table TAB' to insert an HTML table based on the user's dimension input. I wrote such a semi snippet as a command and I want to post it here. Maybe it is also interesting for others.

The basic idea is to ask the user for the dimension and style with the help of a Cocoa inputbox.

Syntax:

row column {style}

delimited by whatever (of course no digit;)

Examples:

3 x 4 will include three rows and four colums where each <td></td> is written in a separate line

2 3 1 will include two rows and three colums where each <td></td> is written in one line per row, i.e <td></td><td></td><td></td>

4 will include four rows and four colums where each <td></td> is written in a separate line

Its scope is text.html and the used shortcut is crtl+shift+t and you can use TAB to jump to the next cell.

The only question I have is whether it is possible to invoke this command like a normal snippet via e.g. 'tablexy TAB'.
