Question

I have a table that can be added to through Commentplugin. I would like to create a column that has the row number and would like the row number to automatically generate as each table row gets added. I cannot find much of anything on autonumbering in any TWiki documentation. Any ideas? Thanks.

You could try a couple of things. Using the EditTablePlugin, you can have it auto number rows.

Another option is to use the SpreadSheetPlugin by inserting some code in the first cell to add 1 to the cell above it with something like CALC{$T(ROW()-1:COLUMN())+1}

Another idea is to use the ExplicitNumberingPlugin to insert a ##. into the first column and let it number the rows.

Hope one of this will work for you.

To add a small confirmation of Rick's suggestions: We already have the ExplicitNumberingPlugin installed. His suggestion to use the ##. markup works very well for auto numbered rows in a table.

Thanks, Rick.

ExplicitNumberingPlugin was the perfect solution. Thanks rick and Alan.
