Subject: Spreadsheet display mode
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 11:23:02 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1IvEpS-0007Oa-3M@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
Someone suggested that Emacs should have a spreadsheet display mode.
I did some thinking about the idea. A list of cell definitions could
control how to display each line, and they could go in a `display'
property that might be on an overlay or text property (so that you
could display just a part of the buffer as a spreadsheet).
The actual text would use delimiters to separate cell contents.
The cell definitions could specify what delimiters to use.
What do you think?
