Re: Readable HTML tables

Distributive property anyone?

use CGI qw(:standard);
print table(Tr([ map td([ qw/foo bar baz/]), 1..10 ]));

print table(Tr([ map td($_), $db->query('SELECT * FROM foo')->arrays ]
+));
[download]

I find those perfectly readable. Shrug.

`print table(Tr([ map td([ qw/foo bar baz/]), 1..10 ])); table { row { cell qw/foo bar baz/ } for 1..10 };` [download] It's just that I prefer `{{}}` to `(([([])]))`, that's all... Unlike you, I don't find the CGI-ish solution perfectly readable. Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You don't have to break their being pure functions to get simple curlies - they can easily enough be rewritten to take a block. The curlies do look a little less busy. If you're consistent and sufficiently generous with your whitespace the paren-brackets are no less readable though, IMHO. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
