comparison-table-generator

Comparison table generators produce grid-based tables that display items side-by-side across multiple criteria with star ratings and difficulty badges. You provide items and criteria; the generator produces HTML, CSS, and interactive hover tooltips for 3 to 8 items in a complete MicroSim package.

Yes. The generator applies badge styling and hover tooltips with descriptions to each cell, enabling visual distinction and additional context without cluttering the grid. These elements are built into the MicroSim output.

The generator produces a complete MicroSim package: HTML and CSS files, a logos directory, index.md documentation, metadata.json with Dublin Core elements, and updates to mkdocs.yml for navigation integration.

Comparison tables support 3 to 8 items compared across multiple criteria. This range balances readability with information density while maintaining interactive usability through keyboard navigation and drag-and-drop.

Grid-based comparison tables with star ratings and difficulty badges are effective for educational MicroSims. They present structured data clearly, support keyboard and drag navigation, and use visual indicators to help students evaluate items against consistent criteria.

The generator creates a logos directory as part of the MicroSim package, but you should prepare logo files or image assets beforehand. The generator organizes and references them; it does not create graphics.
