Table is not like the math mode, which is completely separate from normal wiki syntax, but something inside what all the wiki syntax is supposed to be usable. And for something like that, it steals a bit too many characters.
How should I put it? It's *ONE* character *COMBINATION*! If one character combination is too many, well, I don't know, maybe you're right. I don't think it is too many though. Do you understand what I mean about it only stealing one character combination? If you don't start a table by using "{|" at the beginning of a line, "{" or "|" at the beginning of a line would be rendered as-is. Using "{", "|" or even "{|" anywhere else but the beginning of a line would be rendered as-is as well. Maybe I'm missing something though, please clarify your position if I overlooked something.
It's not only that - `|' becomes magical not only at the begining of line (what would be relatively harmless), but also inside it. We already had a bug where ;/: and : for namespaces conflicted (and btw., is it fixed ?).
And what about precise description of this markup ?
Given the fact that, if you read the rest of this thread, this implementation is currently under discussion, I wouldn't expect the developer to start typing a description just yet.
Magnus said he's going to put it live on all pedias. That's definitely the time for giving exact description.
