Description-en: Facilitates production of HTML tables
Freetable is a perl script that aims to make the production of HTML
tables a little easier. This script works as a filter, reading stdin
and writing to stdout.
.
The input syntax is as roughly follows:
.

initial text (e.g. ... ).
(X, Y) options for cell (X, Y)
text for cell (X,Y)...
((X,Y)) options for header cell X,Y
text for header cell (X,Y)...

.
Rows and cells may be specified in any order, numbering starts at 1.
X and/or Y may be replaced by regular expression, explicit range
or even arbitrary Perl code to indicate rows or columns.
Options or text (or both) may be omitted for cells. Cells
may be omitted completely if they are empty or fall under the
rowspan/colspan specifications of another cell. Cells may contain
arbitrary HTML text, including other freetable tables.
