Define the export data in table (and not with format in export options)

mzard

Hi,
Is it possible to define the data for export (Buttons extension) using html5 data-* attributes?
Something like this

<table id="example" class="display" style="width:100%"> 
<tbody> 
<tr> 
<td data-export="Tiger Nixon">T. Nixon</td> 
<td data-export="System Architect">System Architect</td> 
<td data-export="25/4/2011">Mon 25th Apr 11</td> 
<td data-export="320.800">$320,800/y</td> 
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

or something similar?
It think it's too complicated and verbose define the format in exportOptions for each columns (I have a lot of columns)...

Cheers
Matteo

Hi @mzard ,

I don't think you can use just the HTML5 attributes, but you can use a combination of the two, something like this.

Hope that does the trick,

Cheers,
