Ability to customize presentation of specific columns in HTML view #153

This ties into #3 in some ways. It would be great to have some adaptability in the HTML views and to specific some columns as displaying in certain ways.

  • 1. Auto-parsing URIs into in-browser links. Why? Lots of public data around cultural commons stuff links to a specific URL. This would be a great utility to turn on at the command line, just parse everything for URLs. Maybe they need to be underlined or represented in a different way than internal URLs.
  • 2. Ability to identify a column as plain/preformatted text. Why? Was trying to import the Enron emails, the body collapses. Hard to read. These fields also tend to screw up the ability to scan a table view. If you knew it was text the system could set an overflow property on the relevant CSS, so you could still scan.
  • 3. Ability to identify a column as HTML. Why? I want to spider some stuff and drop sections into SQLite, and just keep them as HTML.
