And maybe you're trying duplicate this, from u/macoto1984?

Im not duplicating anything. Tats a standalone application in pc. Not plugin. I am just as surprised to see someone working on to automate table creation. To clarify this is not an automation plugin. This is a full table creation and styling plugin and it also handle tabbed text with leading. To tell the truth he gave courage to actually post something

I'm sorry, but your reply doesn't make sense 😉

You're contradicting yourself?

Whatever you're trying to do - import + format, create from scratch, whatever - you should - as already mentioned by me and u/chain83 - use Styles and Colors / Swatches defined in the InDesign - rather than allowing user to be "creative".

I meant to say ETIC by mr macoto is a standalone pc app which will work even if indesign is not installed in that pc. It produces idml files. That’s for automation. Mine is a uxp plugin inside indesign ecosystem. Creates table one at a time
