Description

Queries html of matrix.
You can use this method to quickly get all values in a given area as html text to show in a web viewer.
This joins the values and removes text formatting.
Numbers, times and dates are right aligned.

If the matrix has column names, we add them as headers over the html columns.

Examples

Show html in web viewer made from data in Excel:

# load data from Excel document
Set Variable [ $matrix ; Value: MBS( "XL.Sheet.ReadCellsAsMatrix";
$bookRef;
0; // sheet index
0; // first row
9; // last row
0; // first column
5) // last column ]
# now make html
Set Variable [ $html ; Value: MBS( "Matrix.HTML"; $matrix) ]
# and show in web viewer
Set Web Viewer [ Object Name: "web" ; URL: "data:text/html;charset=utf-8," & $html ]
