Very nice! It would be really cool if you can do some simple math too, like =sum(...), and have it update the markdown for you. I like it!

- zelphirkalt 7y agoYou mean, like in org mode tables?
- fortylove 7y agoI've seen reference to org mode quite a few times now. I will have to check it out.
- bloopernova 7y agoIt's a massive, huge, enormous thing. It will seem daunting at first. Especially if you have to learn Emacs as you go. https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org4beginners.html That tutorial seems pretty good, it starts from the absolute beginning.
- jakew 7y ago@fortylove That's a really good idea. I'm going to add simple math in the table editor.
- turbinerneiter 7y agoI wrote this filter for Pandoc once that allowed you to execute Python from within cells and replace the cell content with the results. It also used row names as variable names. Sadly, I can't find the markdown file that actually uses it and I also can't remember how it worked. But the point is: you can do it (badly, but working) in ~100 of Python code as a plugin for Pandoc.
