Generation code

The above wiki table can be generated using a widget with the following Lua code:

function widget:Initialize()
	local file = io.open("testwidget.txt", "w")
	file:write([[{|class="wikitable sortable"]] .. "\n")
	file:write("! Unit def name || Human name\n")	-- || Description\n")
	for i=1,#UnitDefs do
		local ud = UnitDefs[i]
		if not ud.customParams.level then
			local unitname = ud.name
			local name = ud.humanName
			local desc = Spring.Utilities.GetDescription(ud, nil)
			local helptext = Spring.Utilities.GetHelptext(ud)
			file:write("|-\n")
			file:write("|" .. unitname .. " || " .. "[[" .. name .. "]]\n")	-- .. " || " .. desc .. "\n")	-- .. "\t" .. helptext .. "\n")
	  end
	end
	file:write("|}")
	file:flush()
	file:close()
end
