Re: how to generate html table from "table" data?

Hi group,
I would like to convert the output of the SQL query, or more generally
I would like to convert any "table" data to the html table.

There's MoreThanOneWayToDoIt... from simple string formatting to a full-blown template engine.

I would like to set some rules to format cells, columns or rows (font,
colour etc.) of the html table, according to the values in the
specific cells.

Markup should only convey semantic informations - presentation is best done using css. IOW : presentation-related stuff in the html should be restricted to css class declarations.

Googling for a while I have found only this tool:

Your tips to some other tools or/and your suggestion how to solve
above mentioned will be very helpful.

As I said, wrt/ html generation, there are quite a lot of possible solutions - FWIW, generating an html table from a set of tabular data is nothing difficult. So without more information on the context, it's hard to give any valuable advice. Are you doing a web application ? If yes, you should already use a template engine, so just use it. Else, why is your application generating html at all ?
