-This plugin allows you to edit TWiki tables using edit fields and drop down boxes. Tables have an **[ Edit table ]** button if preceeded by an `%EDITTABLE{...}%` variable. Each column can be a text field, a drop down box or a row number. Multiple tables per topic are editable, but only one at a time can be edited.

+The edit field type can be defined for each table cell by placing an `%EDITCELL{ "type, ..." }%` variable after the cell content. This is useful to override the per column `%EDITTABLE{ format="..." }%` settings, or to create tables with key/value rows. All edit field types of the `format="..."` parameter are supported, e.g. to define a text field, type: `| cell content %EDITCELL{ "text, 20" }% |`
+
+It is also possible to place the edit button into a cell instead of default location below the table. Type `| %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit this table" }% |` to show a button, or `| %EDITCELL{ "editbutton, 1, Edit table, Image-URL" }% |` to show a button image with alternate text.
+
+**_Note:_** The EDITCELL variable cannot be used by itself; place an EDITTABLE variable at the beginning of a table where you want to use EDITCELL variables.
