# This bashscript-snippet will convert an .csv into a goodlooking html-file. | |
# I made this because many non-technical users are confused by a .csv file. | |
# | |
# What it does: | |
# it uses asciidoc to setup a basic layout, and uses the csvtable-feature of asciidoc. | |
# | |
# Requirements: unix/linux, asciidoc installed | |
# Absolute path to this script, e.g. /home/user/bin/foo.sh | |
SELF_ABS=`readlink -f $0` | |
# # Absolute path this script is in, thus /home/user/bin | |
SELF_PATH=`dirname $SELF_ABS` | |
SELF=$( basename $0 ) | |
# main layout of asciidoc article | |
rowdesc="ID,Columnname1,Columnname2,Columnname3" | |
