Hi,
I have found these 2 places that provide some info, but they're either
incomplete, inaccurate for the FreedomBox version, or I'm missing some
add-on.
https://ikiwiki.iki.fi/wiki/syntax
https://ikiwiki.info/ikiwiki/directive/table/
The first one doesn't even mention that you need to add (first!) the
[[!table directive. Once I did that I was informed that I was missing
teh Text?SCV perl package. After adding that, by installing the
following packages:
libtext-csv-perl and libtext-csv-xs-perl
the error disappeared, but I see no formatted table in the page
preview. A simple test with this code from the first page:
[[!table data="""
^ Table with alignment ^^^
| right| center |left |
|left | right| center |
| xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
"""]]
with the first and last line added, doesn't show a formatted table in
the page preview, only this:
^ Table with alignment ^^^
| right| center |left |
|left | right| center |
| xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx | xxxxxxxxxxxx |
The title is in bold and the font matches the rest of the page preview
but no table formatting.
Am I missing some required package for ikiwiki tables to work?
Thanks.
Augustine
