suggestion: revamp documentation website

[aavmurphy]

This is no longer just "an unofficial fork", but a whole new library in its own right!

It has lots of brilliant features, but I'm unaware of most of them. It's a little confusing to newcomers, and all the features aren't obvious. I've been using tablesorter for years, but only use a fraction of what it can do. For example, td data-text="something", is brilliantly useful, but quite hidden away at present.

I suggest revamping the website, and maybe concentrate on

• a pretty gallery, with a page for each widget
• a list of "data-xxx"style configuration - for each of table data tags, th data tags, tr data tags, td data tags

It would be quite a lot of work to do this, but it would be worth it to market all that tablesorter can do

Hi @aavmurphy!

Yeah, I wish I had time to work on something like this... I'm way too busy!

I'd still call it an unofficial fork because I've tried to make it easy for a developer to switch from the original tablesorter with minimal to no changes in the code - drop it in and it should work.

There is sort of a pretty gallery for all themes, of course it is hidden in the theme option. Every widget does have a page, or more with documentation. Almost every parser has its own page as well.

I'd really like to rewrite the plugin to use plain javascript, not have a jQuery dependency, and speed up sorting & display of large tables, and so much more. But again, I don't have the time or motivation right now.
