cannot nest Include macro in CSV

[5@…]

I want to auto-generate tables in csv form, and have them show up in the wiki as soon as they're checked in. The CsvMacro and IncludeMacro have the two functions I need, but won't nest. Here's a test:

trac tests

bracket form Include doesn't work in brace-bracket CSV

{{{
#!CSV
[[Include(http://www.andrewpatton.com/countrylist.csv)]]
}}}

next: CSV works in bracket form

[[CSV(hi, there)]]

but: bracket Include in bracket CSV doesn't work

[[CSV([[Include(source:python/systemTests/weakSignal.csv)]])]]

although bracket form Include works on its own

[[Include(http://www.andrewpatton.com/countrylist.csv)]]

Macro's content usually cannot be written wiki text except some macros. Especially, CsvMacro's content is comma-separated values and the macro never parse the content as wiki text.

Ah, I guess I see the issue. Borrowing heavily from your code and that of CSVMacro, I hacked together a CSVInclude macro that works for me; but I wouldn't call it shippable software, and I'm not a good enough coder that I should volunteer to maintain it. Maybe I'll get brave and figure out how to publish it and run away.

Feel free to just attach your code to this ticket. We have too many projects on trac-hacks already that are unmaintained.

CSVInclude macro -- quick and dirty hack

Ok, done. Thanks for your time, and for the open-source code that let me get what I needed done.

It might have been more tasteful for me to teach Include about text/csv, but I doubt I'd ever have debugged that.

I'd close the ticket, but "anonymous" doesn't seem to have the power.
