Tablao is a table editor that allows you to create HTML tables like you create tables in Excel.
You don’t need to write cumbersome HTML-tags, Markdown- or ASCII tables anymore. But unlike Excel, Tablao creates proper HTML tables. HTML tables created with Tablao are without any style information and very easy to use in your own HTML documents.
Features
Preview
Preview your table with simple styling. This styling gets not exported.
Autosave
Your table is automaticly saved when you close Tablao or the window looses focus.
Use HTML where needed
Use HTML code in your table cells to structure the content of your cells if needed.
Paste from other spreadsheets
Paste Data from Excel, Libre Office or Numbers.
Optional table header
Choose if you create HTML tables with or without header.
Cross platform
Tablao works on Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
Installation
Tablao is still in an early alpha stage. If you are interested to test tablao, I added installation instructions for all major platforms. If you encounter any problems or have suggestions, feel free to post them at Tablao’s issue tracker.
Linux
I provide a Download for Ubuntu 16.04 and 17.04, that should work on most Linux platforms. If not install Python3, Qt5 (Version 5.7 or higher), Git and PyQt5 with your package manager. In a terminal execute the following steps:
INSTALL HY
pip3 install hy
INSTALL TABLAO
git clone https://github.com/rockiger/tablao.git
START TABLAO
cd tablao/dist
python tablao.py
MacOS
Unfortunately, I was not able to package Tablao for macOS. This is why I provide this installation instruction, that worked on my virtual machine. I hope I can provide Mac disk images in the future. From a terminal execute the following steps:
Unfortunately, I was not able to package Tablao for Window either. This is why I provide this installation instruction, that worked on my virtual machine. I hope I can provide am MSI in the future.
