Table editor for Emacs

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.1.2

Notes:
This version of table.el includes the following addition and a change.

1. New command `table-generate-html' which requires little
   explanation.  It may need some user interface improvement.
   Comments are always welcome.

2. New command `table-insert-sequence' which is useful often in
   technical and engineering table work.  I often have a need to write
   a table like this hypothetical one.

   +--------+-----+------------------------------------------------+
   |Register|Read/|                Bit Definition                  |
   |  Name  |Write+-----+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   |        |     | D7  |  D6  | D5  | D4  | D3  | D2  | D1  | D0  |
   +--------+-----+-----+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   | STATUS |  R  | INV |PARITY| ID FIELD  |         COUNT         |
   +--------+-----+-----+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
   | COMMAND|  W  |RESET| READ |WRITE|FLUSH|  -  |  -  |  -  |  -  |
   +--------+-----+-----+------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+

   Now insertion of D7 through D0 can be automated by this command.
   When the register is 16bit wide or 32bit wide it is even clearer
   that the work should be done by a computer than a human.

3. Version number convention changed.  It used to be 1.xxx where 1 is
   the major version number and xxx was the build number.  Now it is
   X.Y.Z where X is the major version number, Y is the minor version
   number and Z is the build number where number of digit for each of
   them are not limited.  This is more common practice in software
   development I think.

HTML generation has been the most frequently requested feature and it
is certainly a useful feature I believe.  It was not at the top of the
todo list but due to the popular demand it has got an attention.
Thanks to those who requested this feature.  One use has asked to
generate XML DTD.  This work should be a relatively minor addition to
the current one.  It will be coming soon.

I do not want to implement reverse process which takes HTML table
source and generates a text table because HTML rendering is out of
scope of this package.  Also it duplicates already done work by many
other people such as w3 package.  So please do not request this one.
However, I am more than happy to collaborate with people who work on
rendering side so that this package interfaces better with their
package.
