Release Notes

timvink/mkdocs-table-reader-plugin (mkdocs-table-reader-plugin)

v4.0.1

Compare Source

Bug fixes:

• Two reader tags on the same line are now two tables. The tag pattern matched greedily, so it swallowed everything between the first and the last tag on a line, and then failed to parse the result.
• An = inside an argument value no longer breaks parsing. {{ read_csv('a=b.csv') }}, sep='=' and na_values=['a=1'] all raised a SyntaxError before.
• A comma inside a dict argument no longer breaks parsing, so dtype={'a': 'str', 'b': 'int'} works. Lists and tuples already worked.
• convert_to_md_table() no longer escapes pipe characters in the DataFrame you pass in. When a mkdocs-macros-plugin user rendered the same DataFrame twice, the second table showed doubly escaped pipes.

Project maintenance:

• The documentation site now deploys on every push to master. It was deployed by hand, and had fallen behind the readers added in 4.0.0.
• Coverage is uploaded to Codecov again. The upload step tested an environment variable that was never set, so it never ran.
• enabled is included in schema.json, so editors stop flagging it as an unknown option.

v4.0.0: table-reader v4.0.0

Breaking changes

• Python 3.10 or newer is required. Support for Python 3.8 and 3.9 is dropped, and 3.13 and 3.14 are now tested.
• pandas 2.1 or newer is required. convert_to_md_table() used to pick between .map() and .applymap() on a string comparison of pd.__version__. .applymap() was removed in pandas 3, so that branch is gone and the floor is now the pandas release that added pd.DataFrame.map().

New readers

Readers for every remaining file format that pandas can read, so the plugin now covers all of them (readers):

read_feather, read_parquet, read_orc, read_html, read_xml, read_hdf, read_sas, read_spss and read_stata, each also available as a pd_<reader> macro when mkdocs-macros-plugin is enabled. Some need an extra package installed, which the readers page lists per format.

Faster builds

Every reader used to run its own regex over every page, so each reader added made builds slower. All selected readers are now searched for in one pattern, and a page is scanned once no matter how many readers are selected. Scanning a 15KB page:

	8 readers	all 16 readers
v3, one regex per reader	1.28 ms	2.54 ms
v4, one regex	0.16 ms	0.15 ms

That is 8x faster with the readers v3 had, and 17x faster with all the readers v4 adds: about a second saved per 1000 pages. select_readers is no longer needed to keep builds fast.

Improvements

• Multiline cells no longer break up a table. A cell containing a newline is rendered with <br> for single-line table formats like pipe and github, and left alone for formats that display multiline cells themselves, such as grid (#​83).
• read_yaml() and read_raw() accept an encoding argument, for files that are not UTF-8. Thanks @​kirill237!

Internal

• Test coverage is at 100%. select_readers, allow_missing_files, tag indentation and malformed tags all have tests now, and the read_hdf() and read_spss() tests actually run in CI instead of always skipping.
