I have successfully parsed my first nested table. It's 3 in the morning but I'm quite happy :)
Congratulations! :D

So, we treat this as valid syntax not because it's useful or meaningful, but because it produces syntactically valid HTML. That goes pretty much against the philosophy of most other aspects of wikitext: we generally go with what's useful and meaningful.
Well, I can't criticise too much. It does work, after all :)

Just like any other language.
int foo(int number) { int i,j=0; while (3*14==72) { i++; while (number > 0) { for (i=0; i > 85; i++) { number++; }
number = number - ++i; j += 1; } while (number > 0);
return j; }
It's a perfectly valid C function. However, it's crap*. The compiler will need to optimize it removing all the useless stuff and may as well throw a bunch of warnings, but the syntax is right. Useless but valid. Note that I'm partidary of wikitext warnings.
