Question

How do I hide the index column in the output below?

Currently, the only way to do this is to register a custom formatter that generates the HTML table. It's fairly simple to do this for a specific type and a bit more involved to change this for all IEnumerable types.

A couple of relevant pieces of code:

@jonsequitur Would it possible to just remove index altogether before sending it to Display()?

I would like to selectively view the index in the output. Creating a custom formatter for all possible types that would output a table would be more cumbersome. I also found out that I can't create formatters for Measure types.

Can you provide a code sample of what you're trying to do?
