A script to create HTML tables in Mail
Very interesting technique. I never considered this, and wondered why Mail.app was so obstinate about the limited RTF it will accept as input.
I think that any "text to html" shell utility/script would do. For instance, I use a text formatter I wrote called "fmt.pl" (written in Perl) to "standardize" text that I write, and to convert from the shorthand text that I use for writing to various formats such as XML and HTML for presentation. This hint has the start of something very useful...! So, now my next move is to create a single AppleScript to automate all of this. A lot of the following is already in the script from this hint, but it should be packaged a bit more concisely:
Finally, I can then bind this AppleScript to a keystroke using the free Mail Act-On, so all I need to do is type my text in the short hand that I use for writing, and then press my special key to get it nicely formatted within Mail.app! |
