Here we give three examples on how to tabulate
listing. Before we begin, keep in mind that the complexity of tabulation
extends far beyond the scope of TextMaestro. However, the following examples
will convince you that TextMaestro can be a convenient tool when it comes
to tabulating text.
Example 14.a: Align
and Number a listing
Example 14.b: Make
2-column table
Example 14.c: Make
multi-column table
Example
14.a: Align and Number a listing: Top
Suppose here is the input text:

Open TextMaestro, and click on Text Conversion tool
 as shown below:
|
|
This will open Attributes
window and Interactive
Window side by side. Enter the following information in those boxes:
|
|
|
Find: |
, |
|
Replace: |
<line-brk> |
I.e., replace ", " by a line-break
to make a listing from above wrapped text.
|
|
Click on Convert
 button to obtain the following:
Transfer text from Output
window to Input
window by clicking on Transfer
text  button.
Place Find,
Replace and Input text as shown
below.
|
|
Here we will execute this macro on the current input
text:
|
Find: |
|
* |
|
Replace: |
|
<i=1>.<A=5> * <a=35?.>10 |
where wild-card is turned on (see left).
See conversion rules, especially conversion qualifiers
for details.
Hit Convert
 button. |

We would like to make a table from this listing
so that each odd line is placed at first column and even line at second
column, and hopefully in a sorted and numbered fashion.
Here is the Attribute
window:
Place this macro on Find
and Replace area:
|
Find: |
*
* |
|
Replace: |
<*1>|<*2> |
Place the listing onto Input
window.
Hit Convert button. |
See conversion
rules, especially wild card usage for details. In summary, a stand-alone
wild-card denotes each line (excluding line-break). Thus, this macro grabs
two lines at a time and places them side by side, separating them by "|".
Now transfer text from Output
window to Input
window by clicking on Transfer
text  button. To sort the text seen on Input window,
right click on it and follow the steps shown below:
This will sort the input text and the result is shown
above.
Transfer text from Output
window to Input
window one more time by clicking on Transfer
text  button, and use following macro in Find and Replace
boxes.
|
Find: |
|
*|* |
|
Replace: |
|
<i=1>.<A=5> <*1> <a=35><*2> |
Hit Convert button. Here is the output:
Now you have sorted and numbered tabulated listing
of the free-ware web-sites where we submitted TextMaestro for patient
users like you.
Example
14.c: Make multi-column table Top
In Example 14.b (above), we made two columns. Below
we'll make a four column table, where each item is listed side by side.
Here is the macro:
|
Find: |
|
*
*
*
* |
|
Replace: |
|
<i=1?4>.<A=5> * <i=2?4>.<A=30>
* <i=3?4>.<A=55> * <i=4?4>.<A=80> * |
