Adds styling and DataTables (table plugin for jQuery) with Buttons and Responsive extensions to your tables.

== Description ==
TableMaster is a simple and easy to use plugin that will print styled and responsive tables (containing your own dynamic data) from any Wordpress database table to your page or post.  In addition, TableMaster integrates the [DataTables table plugin for jQuery with the Buttons and Responsive extensions](http://datatables.net) to provide a feature-rich user experience. TableMaster is currently the only plugin of its kind. (The most popular Wordpress table plugin does not allow you to print dynamic data directly from your Wordpress database.) 

With TableMaster you can create custom styled tables with search, filter, pagination, copy, print and download (to CSV, Excel and PDF format) features with just a simple shortcode. There are many shorcode keywords available for customizing your tables. The complete TableMaster User's Guide is included with the plugin. However, if you would like to preview all the keywords and see the examples tables prior to installing the plugin please visit the [TableMaster Page](http://www.codehorsesoftware.com/tablemaster-wordpress-plugin) at the Codehorse Software website.

TableMaster Features Include:

* Tables are fully responsive
* No knowledge of HTML or CSS is required
* Prints dynamic or static data from your MySQL database
* Integrates the Datatables table plugin for jQuery with the Buttons and Responsive Extensions

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

This is the third release of TableMaster! And, still, there are no frequently asked questions. I hope this means that the TableMaster User's Guide has been very helpful to everyone. However, questions will be added here when they are received.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 0.0.3 =

This release fixes an issue reported by megadrive16 where the DataTables jQuery plugin default column sorting was overriding the "ORDER BY" clause that was specified by the user with the 'sql' keyword.  With this release, you can use the 'default_sort' keyword to disable the default column sorting used by the DataTables jQuery plugin. 

= 0.0.2 =

This release adds new features for the user and completes the development of the baseline plugin. There are no known backward compatibility issues.
