 * Hi Tobias, a pity I missed you at wceu to have a chat about this awesome plugin!
   🙂
 * But this. A customer is working with a flat excel file to list data.
    We want
   to move this excel table to a wordpress intranet in order to have the same data
   they can update online. We need this data online, to get it pushed elsewhere 
   automatically.
 * I just played around with your plugin but this questions are popping up:
    – is
   it possible to get the table edit environment on a published page (site will 
   only work on a localhost)? I need to create a simple edit page without any extra
   admin settings. – is it possible to add a table row on the fly (as they need 
   it)? – the html output of the data is to html table markup, but I’m thinking 
   to tweak the code to get it published with ul and li tags. We need to handle 
   it afterwards as CSS flexbox, and I’m afraid the table markup will be too hard
   to override.
 * If I’m asking too much … don’t hesitate to mention! 🙂
    I’m sure I’ll not get
   this this all in 1 plugin, but looking for a best solution combined with some
   customised tweaks.
 * Have a great day!
    stof ps: as I can use the plugin in a project, i do donate
   for sure!

 * Hi Kristof,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * No, sorry, the “Edit” environment can not be placed on a published page. Editing
   tables is only possible in the admin area of TablePress, for logged-in users 
   who have the necessary access rights.
 * Adding rows there is no problem with the corresponding buttons below the table
   input fields.
 * To tweak the HTML output, there are several filters available in the frontend
   rendering class of TablePress (see class-render.php). With those, you could change
   the HTML tags to whatever you need, or rewrite the entire rendering process.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
