I found some in dokuwiki.org and currently using a simple clipboard-based conversion tool on a separate php-page. But i thought i could get something my users can handle also, easily. I thought of a button inside DW which pastes anything a table makes into the clipboard and can be added to Excel and vice versa. I see this is not as trivial as it sounds and Excel-Markos are often disabled.
Maybe the better solution was to add a nice table editor into DW to get rid of painfull table-editing in source.
I suggested that the default table should be the CSV plugin
http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:csv but it was rejected. Personally I think people understand commas better than | or ^ and the files can created easily with many programs. Some small keyboards don't even have easy access to | or ^. The only drawback with the CSV plugin is that formatting such as bold, underline or links do not work. Current table format does not work for basic users.
