SUBMISSION: Export to HTML table from Mesa

20 June, 1996

I have written a very simple Mesa addin to support export to HTML tables.

This addin takes the current selected range from a Mesa spreadsheet, and presents the user with a save panel. The selected range is reformatted as an HTML table and written to the file chosen. An accessory view on the save panel selects if the first row of the range is to be used as header cells, and permits the user to enter a caption, if required.

More could be done with this if desired, but most people looking for this type of application seem to be dealing in bulk conversion of sheets from Excel (or Mesa) to HTML, which the application in its present state is ideal for.

It can be found on:

ftp://ftp.plsys.co.uk/pub/Misc/Shareware/MesaTable.tar.gz

To install the bundle, you can either specify it to Mesa through Info->Preferences and use the Function Addins section, or you can create a directory called /LocalLibrary/MesaAddIns, and put the bundle in there. If correctly installed, you will see an new item under the AddIn menu called "HTML Menu".
