Re: Table insertion using the Abiwidget API

Hi William,

You would have to place the caret inside the table then do
insert_data() commands.

Each table structure is one position in the document. So if you placed
the caret immediately outside the table at position "pos" you would
have to add +3 pos to move it over

<table><cell><paragraph>

So that you could do your insert_data command.

Note that each <Table> and <cell> structure has a corresponding <end_table> and
<end_cell> structure. However there is no <end_paragraph> structure.

So a 2 cell by 1 row table would look like:

<table><cell><para>some text in paragraph<para>more text in
paragraph<end_cell><cell><para>yet more text<para>even more
text<para>still more text<end_cell><end_table>

Looking at the *.abw file should help if you remember that the </p>
markers aren't actually in the document structure.

Cheers

Martin
