Demo
We have "Talk" pages
Cookbook/RecipeName-Talk
Can we get a demo such as
Cookbook/RecipeName-Demo
I would want it to load the recipe to help show how it works --gnuzoo
Feel free to link to a demo on your own wiki. Petko
I do not have a public website demo that is available. Currently I do a lot
of journaling using http://localhost/. That is why I have some captured
images on the main recipe page Cookbook.TableCalc. Users will have to
scroll down a bunch to see the best images. It is long page, but worth scrolling.

Decimal separator?
Fantastic, Gnuzoo! Congratulations! I've been looking for advanced calculation capabilities like this for a long time and dream of a complete online Excel spreadsheet within PmWiki. As you can see, I'm a novice, so of course that will remain a dream, right? But even this current state is quite usable. I'm pleased to see that I can also use PTVs as values for further calculations.
My first problem, however, is this: I'm in Germany and use the comma as the decimal separator (and the period as the thousands separator). So TablCalc produces values like 123,45 (regardless of whether it's type "finance" or "float2"), and if I try to perform further calculations with them, everything goes wrong.
Is there a solution for this? (I absolutely cannot change the separator in my Windows system.)

I could do it, but I am quite busy. I do
not live in Germany and do not plan to
visit anytime soon.

On top of that, you can change the code yourself,
you can hire someone else to do it for you.
You could also hire me, but that would be expensive.
What really surprises me is that no one has done
this before.

Perhaps something like JS Intl.NumberFormat might help. -- Luigi 2026-02-02
