;; -------------
;; Introduction:
;; -------------
;;
;; This package provides text based table creation and editing
;; feature.  With this package Emacs is capable of editing tables that
;; are embedded inside a text document, the feature similar to the
;; ones seen in modern WYSIWYG word processors.  A table is a
;; rectangular text area consisting from a surrounding frame and
;; content inside the frame.  The content is usually subdivided into
;; multiple rectangular cells, see the actual tables used below in
;; this document.  Once a table is recognized, editing operation
;; inside a table cell is confined into that specific cell's
;; rectangular area.  This means that typing and deleting characters
;; inside a cell do not affect any outside text but introduces
;; appropriate formatting only to the cell contents.  If necessary for
;; accommodating added text in the cell, the cell automatically grows
;; vertically and/or horizontally.  The package uses no major mode nor
;; minor mode for its implementation because the subject text is
;; localized within a buffer.  Therefore the special behaviors inside
;; a table cells are implemented by using keymap text property
;; instead of buffer wide mode-map.
;;
;;
;; -----------
;; Background:
;; -----------
;;
;; Paul Georgief is one of my best friends.  He became an Emacs
;; convert after I recommended him trying it several years ago.  Now
;; we both are devoted disciples of Emacsism and elisp cult.  One day
;; in his Emacs exploration he asked me "Tak, what is a command to
;; edit tables in Emacs?".  This question started my journey of this
;; table package development.  May the code be with me!  In the
;; software world Emacs is probably one of the longest lifetime record
;; holders.  Amazingly there have been no direct support for WYSIWYG
;; table editing tasks in Emacs.  Many people must have experienced
;; manipulating existing overwrite-mode and picture-mode for this task
;; and only dreamed of having such a lisp package which supports this
;; specific task directly.  Certainly, I have been one of them.  The
;; most difficult part of dealing with table editing in Emacs probably
;; is how to realize localized rectangular editing effect.  Emacs has
;; no rectangular narrowing mechanism.  Existing rect package provides
;; basically kill, delete and yank operations of a rectangle, which
;; internally is a mere list of strings.  A simple approach for
;; realizing the localized virtual rectangular operation is combining
;; rect package capability with a temporary buffer.  Insertion and
;; deletion of a character to a table cell can be trapped by a
;; function that copies the cell rectangle to a temporary buffer then
;; apply the insertion/deletion to the temporary contents.  Then it
;; formats the contents by filling the paragraphs in order to fit it
;; into the original rectangular area and finally copy it back to the
;; original buffer.  This simplistic approach has to bear with
;; significant performance hit.  As cell grows larger the copying
;; rectangle back and forth between the original buffer and the
;; temporary buffer becomes expensive and unbearably slow.  It was
;; completely impractical and an obvious failure.  An idea has been
;; borrowed from the original Emacs design to overcome this
;; shortcoming.  When the terminal screen update was slow and
;; expensive Emacs employed a clever algorithm to reduce actual screen
;; update by removing redundant redrawing operations.  Also the actual
;; redrawing was done only when there was enough idling time.  This
;; technique significantly improved the previously mentioned
;; undesirable situation.  Now the original buffer's rectangle is
;; copied into a cache buffer only once.  Any cell editing operation
;; is done only to the cache contents.  When there is enough idling
;; time the original buffer's rectangle is updated with the current
;; cache contents.  This delayed operation is implemented by using
;; Emacs's timer function.  To reduce the visual awkwardness
;; introduced by the delayed effect the cursor location is updated in
;; real-time as a user types while the cell contents remains the same
;; until the next idling time.  A key to the success of this approach
;; is how to maintain cache coherency.  As a user moves point in and
;; out of a cell the table buffer contents and the cache buffer
;; contents must be synchronized without a mistake.  By observing user
;; action carefully this is possible however not easy.  Once this
;; mechanism is firmly implemented the rest of table features grew in
;; relatively painless progression.  Those users who are familiar with
;; Emacs internals appreciate this table package more.  Because it
;; demonstrates how extensible Emacs is by showing something that
;; appears like a magic.  It lets you re-discover the potential of
;; Emacs.
;;
;;
;; -------------
;; Entry Points:
;; -------------
;;
;; If this is the first time for you to try this package, go ahead and
;; load the package by M-x `load-file' RET.  Specify the package file
;; name "table.el".  Then switch to a new test buffer and issue the
;; command M-x `table-insert' RET.  It'll ask you number of columns,
;; number of rows, cell width and cell height.  Give some small
;; numbers for each of them.  Play with the resulted table for a
;; while.  If you have menu system find the item "Table" under "Tools"
;; and "Table" in the menu bar when the point is in a table cell.
;; Some of them are pretty intuitive and you can easily guess what
;; they do.  M-x `describe-function' and get the documentation of
;; `table-insert'.  The document includes a short tutorial.  When you
;; are tired of guessing how it works come back to this document
;; again.
;;
;; To use the package regularly place this file in the site library
;; directory and add the next expression in your init file.  Make
;; sure that directory is included in the `load-path'.
;;
;;   (require 'table)
;;
;; Have the next expression also, if you want always be ready to edit
;; tables inside text files.  This mechanism is analogous to
;; fontification in a sense that tables are recognized at editing time
;; without having table information saved along with the text itself.
;;
;;   (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'table-recognize)
;;
;; Following is a table of entry points and brief description of each
;; of them.  The tables below are of course generated and edited by
;; using this package.  Not all the commands are bound to keys.  Many
;; of them must be invoked by "M-x" (`execute-extended-command')
;; command.  Refer to the section "Keymap" below for the commands
;; available from keys.

;;
;; *Note*
;;
;; You may find that some of commonly expected table commands are
;; missing such as copying a row/column and yanking it.  Those
;; functions can be obtained through existing Emacs text editing
;; commands.  Rows are easily manipulated with region commands and
;; columns can be copied and pasted through rectangle commands.  After
;; all a table is still a part of text in the buffer.  Only the
;; special behaviors exist inside each cell through text properties.
;;
;; `table-generate-html' which appeared in earlier releases is
;; deprecated in favor of `table-generate-source'.  Now HTML is
;; treated as one of the languages used for describing the table's
;; logical structure.
;;
;;
;; -------
;; Keymap:
;; -------
;;
;; Although this package does not use a mode it does use its own
;; keymap inside a table cell by way of keymap text property.  Some of
;; the standard basic editing commands bound to certain keys are
;; replaced with the table specific version of corresponding commands.
;; This replacement combination is listed in the constant alist
;; `table-command-remap-alist' declared below.  This alist is
;; not meant to be user configurable but mentioned here for your
;; better understanding of using this package.  In addition, table
;; cells have some table specific bindings for cell navigation and
;; cell reformation.  You can find these additional bindings in the
;; constant `table-cell-bindings'.  Those key bound functions are
;; considered as internal functions instead of normal commands,
;; therefore they have special prefix, *table-- instead of table-, for
;; symbols.  The purpose of this is to make it easier for a user to
;; use command name completion.  There is a "normal hooks" variable
;; `table-cell-map-hook' prepared for users to override the default
;; table cell bindings.  Following is the table of predefined default
;; key bound commands inside a table cell.  Remember these bindings
;; exist only inside a table cell.  When your terminal is a tty, the
;; control modifier may not be available or applicable for those
;; special characters.  In this case use "C-cC-c", which is
;; customizable via `table-command-prefix', as the prefix key
;; sequence.  This should preceding the following special character
;; without the control modifier.  For example, use "C-cC-c|" instead
;; of "C-|".

;;
;; *Note*
;;
;; When using `table-cell-map-hook' do not use `local-set-key'.
;;
;;   (add-hook 'table-cell-map-hook
;;     (lambda ()
;;       (local-set-key [<key sequence>] '<function>)))
;;
;; Adding the above to your init file is a common way to customize a
;; mode specific keymap.  However it does not work for this package.
;; This is because there is no table mode in effect.  This package
;; does not use a local map therefore you must modify `table-cell-map'
;; explicitly.  The correct way of achieving above task is:
;;
;;   (add-hook 'table-cell-map-hook
;;     (lambda ()
;;       (define-key table-cell-map [<key sequence>] '<function>)))
;;
;; -----
;; Menu:
;; -----
;;
;; If a menu system is available a group of table specific menu items,
;; "Table" under "Tools" section of the menu bar, is globally added
;; after this package is loaded.  The commands in this group are
;; limited to the ones that are related to creation and initialization
;; of tables, such as to insert a table, to insert rows and columns,
;; or recognize and unrecognize tables.  Once tables are created and
;; point is placed inside of a table cell a table specific menu item
;; "Table" appears directly on the menu bar.  The commands in this
;; menu give full control on table manipulation that include cell
;; navigation, insertion, splitting, spanning, shrinking, expansion
;; and unrecognizing.  In addition to above two types of menu there is
;; a pop-up menu available within a table cell.  The content of pop-up
;; menu is identical to the full table menu.  [mouse-3] is the default
;; button, defined in `table-cell-bindings', to bring up the pop-up
;; menu.  It can be reconfigured via `table-cell-map-hook'.  The
;; benefit of a pop-up menu is that it combines selection of the
;; location (which cell, where in the cell) and selection of the
;; desired operation into a single clicking action.
;;
;;
;; -------------------------------
;; Definition of tables and cells:
;; -------------------------------
;;
;; There is no artificial-intelligence magic in this package.  The
;; definition of a table and the cells inside the table is reasonably
;; limited in order to achieve acceptable performance in the
;; interactive operation under Emacs lisp implementation.  A valid
;; table is a rectangular text area completely filled with valid
;; cells.  A valid cell is a rectangle text area, which four borders
;; consist of valid border characters.  Cells can not be nested one to
;; another or overlapped to each other except sharing the border
;; lines.  A valid character of a cell's vertical border is either
;; table-cell-vertical-char `|' or table-cell-intersection-char `+'.
;; A valid character of a cell's horizontal border is either
;; one of table-cell-horizontal-chars (`-' or `=')
;; or table-cell-intersection-char `+'.
;; A valid character of the four corners of a cell must be
;; table-cell-intersection-char `+'.  A cell must contain at least one
;; character space inside.  There is no restriction about the contents
;; of a table cell, however it is advised if possible to avoid using
;; any of the border characters inside a table cell.  Normally a few
;; boarder characters inside a table cell are harmless.  But it is
;; possible that they accidentally align up to emulate a bogus cell
;; corner on which software relies on for cell recognition.  When this
;; happens the software may be fooled by it and fail to determine
;; correct cell dimension.
;;
;; Following are the examples of valid tables.
;;
;; +--+----+---+     +-+     +--+-----+

;;
;; The next five tables are the examples of invalid tables.  (From
;; left to right, 1. nested cells 2. overlapped cells and a
;; non-rectangle cell 3. non-rectangle table 4. zero width/height
;; cells 5. zero sized cell)
;;

;;
;; Although the program may recognizes some of these invalid tables,
;; results from the subsequent editing operations inside those cells
;; are not predictable and will most likely start destroying the table
;; structures.
;;
;; It is strongly recommended to have at least one blank line above
;; and below a table.  For a table to coexist peacefully with
;; surrounding environment table needs to be separated from unrelated
;; text.  This is necessary for the left table to grow or shrink
;; horizontally without breaking the right table in the following
;; example.

;;
;; -------------------------
;; Cell contents formatting:
;; -------------------------
;;
;; The cell contents are formatted by filling a paragraph immediately
;; after characters are inserted into or deleted from a cell.  Because
;; of this, cell contents always remain fit inside a cell neatly.  One
;; drawback of this is that users do not have full control over
;; spacing between words and line breaking.  Only one space can be
;; entered between words and up to two spaces between sentences.  For
;; a newline to be effective the new line must form a beginning of
;; paragraph, otherwise it'll automatically be merged with the
;; previous line in a same paragraph.  To form a new paragraph the
;; line must start with some space characters or immediately follow a
;; blank line.  Here is a typical example of how to list items within
;; a cell.  Without a space at the beginning of each line the items
;; can not stand on their own.
;;
;; +---------------------------------+
;; |Each one of the following three  |
;; |items starts with a space        |
;; |character thus forms a paragraph |
;; |of its own.  Limitations in cell |
;; |contents formatting are:         |
;; |                                 |
;; | 1. Only one space between words.|
;; | 2. Up to two spaces between     |
;; |sentences.                       |
;; | 3. A paragraph must start with  |
;; |spaces or follow a blank line.   |
;; |                                 |
;; |This paragraph stays away from   |
;; |the item 3 because there is a    |
;; |blank line between them.         |
;; +---------------------------------+
;;
;; In the normal operation table cell width grows automatically when
;; certain word has to be folded into the next line if the width had
;; not been increased.  This normal operation is useful and
;; appropriate for most of the time, however, it is sometimes useful
;; or necessary to fix the width of table and width of table cells.
;; For this purpose the package provides fixed width mode.  You can
;; toggle between fixed width mode and normal mode by "C-!".
;;
;; Here is a simple example of the fixed width mode.  Suppose we have
;; a table like this one.
;;
;; +-----+
;; |     |
;; +-----+
;;
;; In normal mode if you type a word "antidisestablishmentarianism" it
;; grows the cell horizontally like this.
;;
;; +----------------------------+
;; |antidisestablishmentarianism|
;; +----------------------------+
;;
;;  In the fixed width mode the same action produces the following
;;  result.  The folded locations are indicated by a continuation
;;  character (`\' is the default).  The continuation character is
;;  treated specially so it is recommended to choose a character that
;;  does not appear elsewhere in table cells.  This character is
;;  configurable via customization and is kept in the variable
;;  `table-word-continuation-char'.  The continuation character is
;;  treated specially only in the fixed width mode and has no special
;;  meaning in the normal mode however.

;; -------------------
;; Cell Justification:
;; -------------------
;;
;; By default the cell contents are filled with left justification and
;; no vertical justification.  A paragraph can be justified
;; individually but only horizontally.  Paragraph justification is for
;; appearance only and does not change any structural information
;; while cell justification affects table's structural information.
;; For cell justification a user can select horizontal justification
;; and vertical justification independently.  Horizontal justification
;; must be one of the three 'left, 'center or 'right.  Vertical
;; justification can be 'top, 'middle, 'bottom or 'none.  When a cell
;; is justified, that information is recorded as a part of text
;; property therefore the information is persistent as long as the
;; cell remains within the Emacs world.  Even copying tables by region
;; and rectangle manipulation commands preserve this information.
;; However, once the table text is saved as a file and the buffer is
;; killed the justification information vanishes permanently.  To
;; alleviate this shortcoming without forcing users to save and
;; maintain a separate attribute file, the table code detects
;; justification of each cell when recognizing a table.  This
;; detection is done by guessing the justification by looking at the
;; appearance of the cell contents.  Since it is a guessing work it
;; does not guarantee the perfectness but it is designed to be
;; practically good enough.  The guessing algorithm is implemented in
;; the function `table--detect-cell-alignment'.  If you have better
;; algorithm or idea any suggestion is welcome.

This macro simplifies the rest of the work greatly by condensing the

not return any meaningful value.

Save the current buffer and set the cache buffer as the current
buffer.  Move the point to the cache buffer coordinate
`table-cell-cache-point-coordinate'.  After BODY forms are executed,
the paragraph is filled as long as `table-inhibit-auto-fill-paragraph'
remains nil.  BODY can set it to t when it does not want to fill the
paragraph.  If necessary the cell width and height are extended as the
consequence of cell content modification by the BODY.  Then the
current buffer is restored to the original one.  The last cache point
coordinate is stored in `table-cell-cache-point-coordinate'.  The
original buffer's point is moved to the location that corresponds to

(defun table-insert (columns rows &optional cell-width cell-height)
  "Insert an editable text table.
Insert a table of specified number of COLUMNS and ROWS.  Optional
parameter CELL-WIDTH and CELL-HEIGHT can specify the size of each
cell.  The cell size is uniform across the table if the specified size
is a number.  They can be a list of numbers to specify different size
for each cell.  When called interactively, the list of number is
entered by simply listing all the numbers with space characters
delimiting them.

Examples:

\\[table-insert] inserts a table at the current point location.

Suppose we have the following situation where `-!-' indicates the
location of point.

    -!-

Type \\[table-insert] and hit ENTER key.  As it asks table
specification, provide 3 for number of columns, 1 for number of rows,
5 for cell width and 1 for cell height.  Now you shall see the next
table and the point is automatically moved to the beginning of the
first cell.

    +-----+-----+-----+
    |-!-  |     |     |
    +-----+-----+-----+

Inside a table cell, there are special key bindings. \\<table-cell-map>

M-9 \\[table-widen-cell] (or \\[universal-argument] 9 \\[table-widen-cell]) widens the first cell by 9 character
width, which results as

    +--------------+-----+-----+
    |-!-           |     |     |
    +--------------+-----+-----+

Type TAB \\[table-widen-cell] then type TAB M-2 M-7 \\[table-widen-cell] (or \\[universal-argument] 2 7 \\[table-widen-cell]).  Typing
TAB moves the point forward by a cell. The result now looks like this:

    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    |              |      |-!-                             |
    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+

If you knew each width of the columns prior to the table creation,
what you could have done better was to have had given the complete
width information to `table-insert'.

Cell width(s): 14 6 32

instead of

Cell width(s): 5

This would have eliminated the previously mentioned width adjustment
work all together.

If the point is in the last cell type S-TAB S-TAB to move it to the
first cell.  Now type \\[table-heighten-cell] which heighten the row by a line.

    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    |-!-           |      |                                |
    |              |      |                                |
    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+

Type \\[table-insert-row-column] and tell it to insert a row.

    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    |-!-           |      |                                |

    |              |      |                                |
    |              |      |                                |
    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+

Move the point under the table as shown below.

    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    |              |      |                                |
    |              |      |                                |
    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    |              |      |                                |
    |              |      |                                |
    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+
    -!-

Type M-x table-insert-row instead of \\[table-insert-row-column].  \\[table-insert-row-column] does not work
when the point is outside of the table.  This insertion at
outside of the table effectively appends a row at the end.

    +--------------+------+--------------------------------+

  "Generate source of the current table in the specified language.
LANGUAGE is a symbol that specifies the language to describe the
structure of the table.  It must be either `html', `latex', `cals',
`wiki', or `mediawiki'.
The function inserts the resulting source text into DEST-BUFFER, and
returns the buffer object.  When DEST-BUFFER is omitted or nil, the
function uses the default buffer specified in `table-dest-buffer-name'.
In this case, the function erases the default buffer prior to the
source generation.
When DEST-BUFFER is non-nil, it should be either a destination
buffer or a name of the destination buffer.  In that case, the
function inserts the generated result at point in the destination
buffer, and leaves the previous contents of the buffer untouched.

(defun table-insert-sequence (str n increment interval justify)
  "Travel cells forward while inserting a specified sequence string in each cell.
STR is the base string from which the sequence starts.  When STR is an
empty string then each cell content is erased.  When STR ends with
numerical characters (they may optionally be surrounded by a pair of
parentheses) they are incremented as a decimal number.  Otherwise the
last character in STR is incremented in ASCII code order.  N is the
number of sequence elements to insert.  When N is negative the cell
traveling direction is backward.  When N is zero it travels forward
entire table.  INCREMENT is the increment between adjacent sequence
elements and can be a negative number for effectively decrementing.
INTERVAL is the number of cells to travel between sequence element
insertion which is normally 1.  When zero or less is given for
INTERVAL it is interpreted as number of cells per row so that sequence
is placed straight down vertically as long as the table's cell
structure is uniform.  JUSTIFY is a symbol `left', `center' or
`right' that specifies justification of the inserted string.

  "Convert plain text into a table by capturing the text in the region.
Create a table with the text in region as cell contents.  BEG and END
specify the region.  The text in the region is replaced with a table.
The removed text is inserted in the table.  When optional
COL-DELIM-REGEXP and ROW-DELIM-REGEXP are provided the region contents
is parsed and separated into individual cell contents by using the
delimiter regular expressions.  This parsing determines the number of
columns and rows of the table automatically.  If COL-DELIM-REGEXP and
ROW-DELIM-REGEXP are omitted the result table has only one cell and
the entire region contents is placed in that cell.  Optional JUSTIFY
is one of `left', `center' or `right', which specifies the cell
justification.  Optional MIN-CELL-WIDTH specifies the minimum cell
width.  Optional COLUMNS specify the number of columns when
ROW-DELIM-REGEXP is not specified.


Example 1:

1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8
, 9, 10

Running `table-capture' on above 3 line region with COL-DELIM-REGEXP
\",\" and ROW-DELIM-REGEXP \"\\n\" creates the following table.  In
this example the cells are centered and minimum cell width is
specified as 5.

+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|  1  |  2  |  3  |  4  |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+

+-----+-----+-----+-----+
|     |  9  | 10  |     |
+-----+-----+-----+-----+

Note:

In case the function is called interactively user must use \\[quoted-insert] `quoted-insert'
in order to enter \"\\n\" successfully.  COL-DELIM-REGEXP at the end
of each row is optional.


Example 2:

This example shows how a table can be used for text layout editing.
Let `table-capture' capture the following region starting from
-!- and ending at -*-, that contains three paragraphs and two item
name headers.  This time specify empty string for both
COL-DELIM-REGEXP and ROW-DELIM-REGEXP.

-!-`table-capture' is a powerful command however mastering its power
requires some practice.  Here is a list of items what it can do.

Parse Cell Items      By using column delimiter regular
		      expression and raw delimiter regular
		      expression, it parses the specified text
		      area and extracts cell items from
		      non-table text and then forms a table out
		      of them.

Capture Text Area     When no delimiters are specified it
		      creates a single cell table.  The text in
		      the specified region is placed in that
		      cell.-*-

Now the entire content is captured in a cell which is itself a table
like this.

companion command to `table-capture' this way.

Table is not a mode technically.  You can regard it as a pseudo mode
which exists locally within a buffer.  It overrides some standard
editing behaviors.  Editing operations in a table produces confined
effects to the current cell.  It may grow the cell horizontally and/or
vertically depending on the newly entered or deleted contents of the
cell, and also depending on the current mode of cell.

In the normal mode the table preserves word continuity.  Which means
that a word never gets folded into multiple lines.  For this purpose
table will occasionally grow the cell width.  On the other hand, when
in a fixed width mode all cell width are fixed.  When a word can not
fit in the cell width the word is folded into the next line.  The
folded location is marked by a continuation character which is
specified in the variable `table-word-continuation-char'.
