RT is a simple and human-readable table format. RTtool is a converter from RT into various formats. RT can be incorporated into RD.
At this time, RTtool can convert RT into HTML and plain text. To convert into plain text, you need w3m.
Please execute the following commands.
ruby -ropen-uri -e 'URI("http://www.rubyist.net/~rubikitch/archive/rttool-1.0.3.tar.gz").read.display' > rttool-1.0.3.tar.gz
tar xzvf rttool-1.0.3.tar.gz
When you failed, please download it from the next link.
Then, install it.
cd rttool-1.0.3 ruby setup.rb config ruby setup.rb setup ruby setup.rb install
RT consists of three Blocks.
ConfigBlock consist of groups of "attribute = value".
The following examples has caption attribute.
ConfigBlock can be omitted.
A part of THEAD by HTML. HeaderBlock sets a header of the table. A header is located at the center. HeaderBlock can be omitted.
A part of TBODY by HTML. BodyBlock sets data of the table. A number is located at the right and others are located at left.
The default delimiter on HeaderBlock and BodyBlock is a comma or a Tab.
delimiter attribute.== stretches the left column. (colspan)|| stretches the upper row. (rowspan)In ConfigBlock, these attributes can be set.
The caption of the table.
The delimiter of the table.
A string which stretches the left column. (defalut: ==)
A string which stretches the upper row. (default: ||)
An escape character. This attribute is disabled by default.
