Document DataTable CSV src and column0 options
68
69
## Example: from a CSV attachment
70
71
A `src` pointing at a CSV attachment renders it as a datatable. This page has
72
`otters.csv` attached (delimiter `;`, with a header row, both defaults).
73
74
```
75
{{datatable
76
|src=otters.csv
77
|caption=Otters
78
}}
79
```
80
81
{{datatable
82
|src=otters.csv
83
|caption=Otters
84
}}
85
86
## Example: selecting columns with `column0`
87
88
`column0` picks which columns to show using 0-based indices, so `0,2` keeps the
89
first and third columns (*Species* and *Habitat*). It is the same as `columns`,
90
which counts from 1 instead. An absolute `src` reads the CSV from another page;
91
here it points back at this page's own attachment.
92
93
```
94
{{datatable
95
|src=/Examples/DataTable/otters.csv
96
|column0=0,2
97
|caption=Species and habitat
98
}}
99
```
100
101
{{datatable
102
|src=/Examples/DataTable/otters.csv
103
|column0=0,2
104
|caption=Species and habitat
