Wiki Spreadsheet Plugin. Export to Excel??

I like the idea of the spreadsheet (from the productivity options) in pbwiki. This would allow may people to work collectively & contribute to it. However, once this has been done, it would be nice to be able to export, save as a .csv file or somehow cut and paste the content into a regular Excel worksheet.

Any plans this way?

I’m wondering if this functionality is already there.

This is one of the many things we are considering for the future of PBwiki, and I can see it's a popular one. Right now, converting data back and forth between PBwiki and other programs is pretty difficult, just because the markup used is slightly different between programs, and that makes the formatting come out wonky.

So, right now, not so much. In the future? I sure hope so! I got spreadsheets to import! :)

Does PBWiki have an API structure that would let a third-party create a converter? The Excel, Word, and DocBook markup are pretty straight-forward. The wiki markup is pretty basic but it looks like 2.0 won't even use a wiki markup (but rather HTML) - true?

Thanks for acknowledging my other DocBook post!

I’m undecided
