There is already a feature request for a simple wiki
table format on Sourceforge at:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=584459&gro…
Here is the idea:
<wiki table, center, thin line>
|{light blue} ^ '''Mailing label''' ^|/
|Name: |John Doe |/
|Address: |2000 Main Street |/
| Postal Code: |123456 |/
</wiki table>
NOTE: ^ would signify that the text between should be
centered and / would signify the end of a row.
I'm not sure if this would be possible, but it would
be nice to also have spaces after the | and before the
text to be the same as in an HTML table.
Would render the same as:
<table align="center" border="1">
<tr>
<th colspan="2" bgcolor="lightblue">Mailing
label</th></tr>
<td>Name: </td><td>John Doe </td></tr>
<tr>
<td>Address: </td><td>2000 Main Street </td></tr>
<tr>
<td> Postal Code:
</td><td>123456</td></tr>
</table>
The above wiki table seems a lot more intuitive to me
than either the HTML table or the other wiki table
syntax proposals.
