For an application with a complicated set of data types and a growing
ability to collect and export them, I'm working on a set of routines
to export ALL the things - text, HTMLText, tabular data (as HTMLText,
plain text, or a 2D array), images, or any combination of several of
the above - to a variety of file formats including text, Word, Excel,
PDF, or XTHML-compliant web page.
Right at the moment, I'm working on recognizing tabular data in text
or HTMLText, and converting it to a "real" HTML <table> element
before exporting as part of a web page.

Hi all,
What exciting LiveCode project(s) are you working on at the moment?
Where can we find out more about them? Have you run into any
interesting problems (or solutions) that you'd like to share?
----------
In the office, I'm currently trying to figure out what tools I can
build to help with core dev team productivity. For example, I'm
planning to create a tool that keeps our Bugzilla site
(http://quality.livecode.com/) synchronised with what's going on in
our git repositories (https://github.com/livecode/)
In my spare time:
- I've been adding some stuff to my somewhat-insane open source
"undergrowth" library of pure-LCB bits and pieces
(https://github.com/peter-b/undergrowth), including a templated
string formatting function:
u_format("There are {} lights", [5]) --> "There are 5 lights"
- I've now written a reasonably usable Emacs mode for LCB source
code (https://github.com/peter-b/lcb-mode), with syntax highlighting
and indentation support. It turns out LCB code (and LiveCode
script) is actually very difficult to highlight well without
compiler support because of LiveCode's English-like syntax, but
lcb-mode does the job adequately for the time being
- I've got the idea of making it possible to write externals in Rust
going round (and round) inside my head but I haven't yet got round
to getting it working.

What are you up to?
Peter
