Allow for Spaces / Hide Header

Open flyarrowplane opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, I was running into an issue -- my column names need to have spaces in them. I also found that some of my columns weren't showing up -- I realized this is because the column names needed to be the same and only the first instance of a column was being displayed.

I tried using a template, but I really wanted a table layout. If I tried to use the templating with a table -- a table for which hard coded the headers with their spaces and multiple instances of the same name -- it of course also dynamically added the column names from the sheet. Seems like maybe it could be nice to be able to hide the column names if you want to.

I considered using some other sort of element so that I could continue to hardcode the column names... but it seemed like a headache to do so in order to replace table layout. So I just used hyphens in my column names and used a callback to replace them with spaces. Maybe the CSS templating route would have been better...

In any case, I thought I'd provide this feedback. Overall, though, this is a very cool plugin! Thanks for making it.

I used a work around for the space issue by putting   in on the Sheet. Of course that clutters up the view in Google docs, but you get your spaces in sheetrock.

I'm thinking whatever you put in got translated. Do you mean & n b s p?

Ha! yes I do. & n b s p;

Cool. :) Well, yes, I could do that -- but I may stick with the dash-replace method, since I still have to do some other working around to allow for three columns with the same name. http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/1227355/b608a64e7fa2d1060fef4351ae31fa07 I suppose it could be possible to put the units in the same column as the number value, but I think they wanted to make it as easy as possible for managers to update the number value.
