8HTML::TableTiler uses a minimum HTML table as a tile to generate a complete
9HTML table from a bidimensional array of data. It can easily produce simple or
10complex graphic styled tables with minimum effort and maximum speed.
11
12Think about the table tile as a sort of tile that automatically expands itself
13to contain the whole data. You can control the final look of a table by choosing
14either the HORIZONTAL and the VERTICAL tiling mode among: PULL, TILE and TRIM.
15
16The main advantages to use it are:
17
18* automatic table generation
19 Pass only a bidimensional array of data to generate a complete HTML table.
20 No worry to decide in advance the quantity of cells (or rows) in the table.
21
22* complex graphic patterns generation without coding
23 Just prepare a simple table tile in your preferred WYSIWYG HTML editor
24 and let the module do the job for you.
25
26* simple to maintain
27 You can indipendently change the table tile or the code, and everything
28 will go as you would expect.
