... see subject


Result should be like the following to be used with the datatable framwork


<table id="example" class="cell-border hover compact" width="100%">

   <thead>
     <tr>
       <th>Name</th>
       <th>Position</th>
       <th>Office</th>
     </tr>
   </thead>

   <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
       <td>System Architect</td>
       <td>Edinburgh</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>Ashton Cox</td>
       <td>Technical Author</td>
       <td>San Francisco</td>
     </tr>
   </tbody>

   <thead>
     <tr>
       <th>Name</th>
       <th>Position</th>
       <th>Office</th>
     </tr>
   </thead>

</table>

AFAIK, exporting tables with specific id attributes is not straightforward,
but you can abuse the class attribute by putting the id in it.  For example,
if you export a file with the following text (C-c C-e h h), the output may be
like what you want.

I think I was wrong about that:it looks like you can inject a specific
id into a table element with attr_html; I must've misunderstood
something I'd read.  So the following should work too, and does not
abuse the class attribute.

Hi

Thanks ... you made my day ... even if haven't asked for displaying 2
tables (or maybe even more) at the same time with all the Datatables
magic glue in ORG syntax this was exactly what I would have asked next
... Yeeeeah your solution (even with the id attribute) works perfectly.

But back to the main question ... is it somehow possible to generate the
<tfoot> footer elements (I just realized that my example was actually
wrong, I used <thead> for <tfoot>... it should look like the following

#+attr_html: :id example :class cell-border hover compact :width 100%
| Name        | Position         | Office        |
|-------------+------------------+---------------|
| Tiger Nixon | System Architect | Edinburgh     |
| Ashton Cox  | Technical Author | San Francisco |
|-------------+------------------+---------------|
| Name        | Position         | Office        |

     =====>

<table id="example" class="cell-border hover compact" width="100%">

<thead>
     <tr>
       <th>Name</th>
       <th>Position</th>
       <th>Office</th>
     </tr>
   </thead>

   <tbody>
     <tr>
       <td>Tiger Nixon</td>
       <td>System Architect</td>
       <td>Edinburgh</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
       <td>Ashton Cox</td>
       <td>Technical Author</td>
       <td>San Francisco</td>
     </tr>
   </tbody>

   <tfoot>
     <tr>
       <th>Name</th>
       <th>Position</th>
       <th>Office</th>
     </tr>
   </tfoot>

</table>

Thx again ... Volker

The Org mode HTML exporter does not seem to provide any facility for
using table footers.  You can use the export-filter mechanism of Org
mode to add the footer, but in this case it is simpler to use the
columns.footer option of DataTables, as in the following sample.

#+title: Org Tables to DataTables
#+html_doctype: html5
#+html_head: <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.7.1.min.js"></script>
#+html_head: <script src="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.1.8/js/dataTables.min.js"></script>
#+html_head: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/2.1.8/css/dataTables.dataTables.min.css" />
#+html_head:<script>$(document).ready(function () {$('#example').DataTable({columns: [{footer: 'Name'}, {footer: 'Position'}, {footer: 'Office'}]});});</script>
#+html_head: <script>$(document).ready(function () {$('#another-example').DataTable({lengthMenu: [3, {label: 'All', value: -1}]});});</script>

This is an example table.

#+attr_html: :id example :class cell-border hover compact :width 100%
| Name        | Position         | Office        |
|-------------+------------------+---------------|
| Tiger Nixon | System Architect | Edinburgh     |
| Ashton Cox  | Technical Author | San Francisco |

------------------------------------------------------------

This is another example table.

#+attr_html: :id another-example :class display
| Author            | Title                   | Shelf |
|-------------------+-------------------------+-------|
| Capote, Truman    | In cold blood           | D3B   |

Hi

The columns.footer option of DataTables works like a charm ... but just
curious how would you do it with the export-filter mechanism of Org
mode... mayb this comes in handy later

Thx for you help

   Volker

For example, as follows.
