 Yes
No
The name of the table. Must be unique.
initialRows

The number of rows to have in the section initially. Saves us from having to hit "+" repeatedly.

 Optional
No
ascending
If set to "descending", the content will be sorted in reverse order, and new rows will be added to the top of the repeating section.
width
 Optional
No

The width of the field. e.g. "80%" or "500px".

Note: Only applicable for forms mode.

Notes

Due to the simplistic parser currently being used, you need to be careful with how you format the table. The main requirement is that any '|' characters which mark a table boundary must have whitespace on either side. Conversely, any other '|' characters must not have any whitespace around them. For example, in the markup below there are two errors:

  1. The Number column does not have any whitespace around the '|' markers
  2. The Date column does have whitespace inside the macro
{table-data:My Table}
|| Text||\Number ||Date||
| {text-data:Text}|{number-data:Number}0{number-data}|{date-data:Date| format=dd-MMM-yyyy} |
{table-data}
CODE

Correct formatting would look like this:

{table-data:My Table}
|| Text || Number || Date ||
| {text-data:Text} | {number-data:Number}0{number-data} | {date-data:Date|format=dd-MMM-yyyy} |
{table-data}
CODE
