NAME

Apache::Wyrd::Interfaces::Columnize - Add limited table auto-formatting

SYNOPSIS

        use base qw(Apache::Wyrd::Intefaces::Columnize Apache::Wyrd);

        sub _format_output {
                my ($self) = @_;
                my @items = $self->_get_items;
                my $data = $self->_columnize(@items);
                $self->_data($data);
        }

DESCRIPTION

Arranges a given array of items into a table based on the number found in the Wyrd's columns attribute.

Currently, the interface also will interpret the style attribute of the Wyrd to be included as the named style of the table data (TD) tags it uses to build the table. It also looks to the cellpadding and cellspacing attributes to pass to the enclosing table. These criteria are under review may change in the future.

HTML ATTRIBUTES

columns

The number of columns the table will consist of. The table will be line- broken based on this number of columns.

direction

When set to "down", will arrange the items left-column first, moving right. Otherwise, they are arranged left to right across the columns.

METHOD

_columnize

Takes an array of items, assumed to be HTML text and arranges them in columns (by default, across-first) of an HTML Table, and returns the text of that table.
