---+ Table Plugin

Gives extra control off table display:
   * Allows sorting
   * Changing background colour for header cells
   * Changing background colour for data cells - colours can _alternate_
   * Behaviour can be specified for a specific table using %<nop>TABLE{...}% or with global preferences

---++ Global Preferences
   * Set DEBUG to on to get debug messages in =data/debug.txt=.  Default: =off=
      * Set DEBUG = on
   * Colour for header cells ('*'s around text).  Default: <font color=\"#99CCCC\">#99CCCC</font>
      * #Set HEADER_BG = red
   * #Set DATA_BG = #C8CB8F,#DBDDB5
   * Set DATA_BG = #FFFFCC,#FFFFFF
   * #Set SORT = attachments
   * Set SORT = all
   * #Set SORT = none

   * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Control sorting and colours for table display

---++ Sorting

Click on column heading text to sort by a column.  Initial column will be sorted in descending order, click again to get ascending order.  The type of data in the cell is determined automatically:

   * date if format is:
      * dd MMM YYY - hh:mm
      * dd-MMM-YY or dd-MM-YYYY (can be / or space in place of -)
      * MMM is Jan, Feb, etc
   * number is digits, with optional decimal point
   * otherwise treated as text

---++ Per table settings

On line before the table use %<nop>TABLE{...}%:

| *Argument* | *Comment* |
| =sort=     | =on= or =off= |
| =headerbg=  | header cell background colour |
| =databg=   | data cell background colour, a comma seperated list |

All default to the global setting

---++ Examples

Line before table: %<nop>TABLE{sort="on" headerbg="#99CCCC" databg="#C8CB8F,#DBDDB5"}%

%TABLE{sort="on" headerbg="#99CCCC" databg="#C8CB8F,#DBDDB5"}%
