    I also had and still have problems in implementing codes found from datatables into shortcode of the plugin.

    For this I figure out you need to write

    “columnDefs”: [
    { “visible”: false, “targets”: 0 }
    ]

    into this

    [gdoc key="url" datatables_column_defs='%5B{ "visible": false, "targets":0}%5D']

    Here if you want to hide column 1 and 3 then set “target”: [0,2] and remember to replace [ with %5B and ] with %5D like this

    “targets”:%5B 0,2 %5D

    Those seem to be simple to the author and other IT guys but very difficult to the one like me. I am a physicsist and it took me few months to figure this translation.

    Hope this helps.

    Hmm, I read the description of responsive.breakpoint but do not know how to translate that “language” into language using [gdoc]. It would be better to have an example of how to implement datatables codes into this addon.

    Now I have to copy the table from google sheet into html and call datatables and its other codes. It works but I hate to login to update table. Wroking on googlesheet is much more pleasant.

    I tried to insert googlesheet using this addon’s code [gdoc] and wrote javascript codes according datatables examples to change the table’s properties but it still kept unchanged. There was something wrong but I cannot figure it out.

    You can add JavaScript code in an HTML document by employing the dedicated HTML tag <script> that wraps around JavaScript code. The <script> tag can be placed in the <head> section of your HTML, in the <body> section, or after the </body> close tag, depending on when you want the JavaScript to load.

    It does not work either. It seems that all the tag beginning with datatables_column_defs do not work as I tried many tags but I could not see any change. There should be something wrong that I could not figure out.

    I will try CSS as you suggested. Too much for a guy like me ?? Perhaps I will ask an IT guy to help me.

    Thank you very much.
