Text::Table::HTML - Generate HTML table
This document describes version 0.010 of Text::Table::HTML (from Perl distribution Text-Table-HTML), released on 2023-05-22.
use Text::Table::HTML; my $rows = [ # header row ['Name', 'Rank', 'Serial'], # rows ['alice', 'pvt', '123<456>'], ['bob', 'cpl', '98765321'], ['carol', 'brig gen', '8745'], ]; print Text::Table::HTML::table(rows => $rows, header_row => 1);
This module provides a single function, table, which formats a two-dimensional array of data as HTML table. Its interface is modelled after Text::Table::Tiny 0.03.
table
The example shown in the SYNOPSIS generates the following table:
<table> <thead> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Rank</th><th>Serial</th></tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td>alice</td><td>pvt</td><td>123<456></td></tr> <tr><td>bob</td><td>cpl</td><td>98765321</td></tr> <tr><td>carol</td><td>brig gen</td><td>8745</td></tr> </tbody> </table>
In Text::Table::HTML, header_row is an integer instead of boolean. It supports multiple header rows.

header_row
Cells in rows can be hashrefs instead of scalars.
rows
The table function understands these arguments, which are passed as a hash.
Required. Array of array of (scalars or hashrefs). One or more rows of data, where each row is an array reference. And each array element is a string (cell content) or hashref (with key text to contain the cell text or raw_html to contain the cell's raw HTML which won't be escaped further), and optionally other attributes: rowspan, colspan, align, bottom_border).
text
raw_html
rowspan
colspan
align
bottom_border
caption
Optional. Str. If set, will add an HTML <caption> element to set the table caption.
<caption>
Optional. Integer. Default 0. Whether we should add header row(s) (rows inside <thead> instead of <tbody>). Support multiple header rows; you can set this argument to an integer larger than 1.
<thead>
<tbody>

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
