Hi all,
I've noticed in the right hand column for tabular data Galaxy shows the first few lines with a nice column based layout. Looking at the source, you actually define an HTML table for this.
However, on the main central column, when viewing a tabular dataset (by clicking on the eye icon from an entry in the right hand column), the data is shown as raw text. As long as the data in each column is about the same length, this works OK. However, if you have variable length fields then the columns do not line up.
It would be nice if the main display showed the data respecting the columns. Has this been considered? My guess is that doing this was rejected due to the computational load to reformat it, and the network load to send the marked up data.
(I did try and search the mailing list archives but didn't find any discussion of this)
Regards,
Peter
