HTML Export -- New Script

[Wayne Brissette]

One of the things that I wanted to do with OmniOutliner was use it to
help build HTML tables. Yes, I realize that's not was it was really
designed for, but I wanted a non-css table with very minimal styles.
Looking at the HTML export feature of OO, I realized that it wasn't going
to cut it (BTW, Why should you have to specify the column widths for the
export??? They are already part of of the application and known. In
addition, while I agree that the alternating color won't look exact on
each browser, reducing it to an 8-bit value and converting to hex seems
to do pretty darn well). I also tried the HTML export script, but I
wasn't happy with it and instead of trying to use that code, I wrote my
own. BTW, thanks for the tip on grabbing the value in each cell. I came
up with a similar but different method right before the person responded
to my request. 

So, what I have is a prototype AppleScript that either uses a border or
doesn't (it asks you), builds a WYSIWYG table based on arial 10 point
font in OO, and puts the results into a BBedit document (because it's a
great tool and I use it all the time). If anybody wants to play with it,
give me a shout and I'll send you a copy.
