+This plugin provides the [[ikiwiki/directive/table]] [[ikiwiki/directive]].
+It can build HTML tables from data in CSV (comma-separated values)
+or DSV ([delimiter-separated values](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delimiter-separated_values)) format.
-It needs the perl module [[cpan Text::CSV]] for the CSV data.

-## examples
-
- \[[table data="""
- Customer|Amount
- Fulanito|134,34
- Menganito|234,56
- Menganito|234,56
- """]]
-
- \[[table class="book_record" format=csv file="data/books/record1"]]
-
-In this second example the `record1` page should be similar to:
-
- "Title","Perl Best Practices"
- "Author","Damian Conway"
- "Publisher","O’Reilly"
-
-To make a cell span multiple columns, follow it with one or more empty
-cells. For example:
-
- \[[table data="""
- left||right|
- a|b|c|d
- this cell spans 4 columns|||
- """]]
-
-## usage
-
-* `data` - Values for the table.
-* `file` - A file in the wiki containing the data.
-* `format` - The format of the data, either "csv", "dsv", or "auto"
- (the default).
-* `delimiter` - The character used to separate fields. By default,
- DSV format uses a pipe (`|`), and CSV uses a comma (`,`).
-* `class` - A CSS class for the table html element.
-* `header` - Set to "no" to make a table without a header. By default,
- the first data line is used as the table header.
+Note that you can also build tables in [[ikiwiki/Markdown]] pages
+without using this plugin, by enabling the `multimarkdown` option
+and installing the [[!cpan Text::MultiMarkdown]] Perl module or simply by using the `<table>` HTML tag.
