Table

Set /config/type to table to render a native table. It supports cell alignment, borders, number and date formats, padding, widths, text styles, overflow, responsive priority, merges and horizontal bars.

Data and selectors

Tables display the full /data CSV matrix. Row 0 is the header and column 0 is the first column. Empty cells and comma-only rows retain their positions. A selector such as 1: 1: addresses the body cells after the first row and first column. See slicing for inclusive ranges, header names and negative indices.

The ten cell files live under /config/table/cell/: align, border, chart, format, merge, overflow, padding, priority, text and width. Their instructions apply in order within each file. Cell colors use /config/colors with the bg and fg planes. See the cell formatting reference for each grammar.

Editing and diagnostics

Use the playground to edit a table, or open an existing plot at /u/<user>/p/<plot>/playground. The playground copies its data and configuration into a local session; edits do not write back to the saved plot.

The Console reports configuration errors with their file and line. Select an error to open that file, correct the instruction, and the preview updates. A fatal parser error appears in the preview while the last successful render remains visible.

When Chat is enabled for your account, Athena can edit the cell files, colors and session data. For example, ask it to round values, sort rows or add a column. Data changes appear in Data → Raw and in the Chat diff; Undo/Redo is available in Raw. Local edits survive reload. Refresh on a cloned plot restores its saved data and configuration.

Athena can inspect the same diagnostics and request an image of the current table. The preview supports independent light and dark themes. Tables render as HTML under either the SVG or Canvas preference.

E-mail tables

The playground supports native table. The e-mail subset, mtable, targets mail clients and is not accepted by the playground.
