Plugin Description
Easy Table is a WordPress plugin that allow you to insert table in easy way. Why it’s easy? Because you don’t need to write any complicated HTML syntax. Note that this plugin is not a graphical user interface table generator, so you can simply type your table data directly in your post while you writing. No need to switch to another window nor click any toolbar button.
Easy Table using standard CSV format to generate table data, it’s easiest way to build a table.
Some Features
- Easy to use, no advanced skill required
- Display table in post, page or even in widget
- Read data from CSV file and display the data in table
- Sortable table column (using tablesorter jQuery plugin)
- Fancy table design (using Twitter CSS bootstrap)
- WYSIWYG safe, I mean you can switch HTML/View tab in WordPress editor without breaking the table data.
Known bugs and limitation
- Enclosure will not work on first cell of a row
- Chinese characters (and others?) usually stripped down on first cell of a row
- Unable to create nested table
