Table Syntax

• DokuWiki
• JSPWiki
• MediaWiki table syntax

This would be the DokuWiki variant: Problem for me - charet is kind of hard to type on a german keyboard: Charet and than hiting space, it would introduce yet another character that first time users have to look up at their keyboard. It also is not looking like a block for me that is belonging together.

^Hading 1  ^ Heading 2
|Cell 1.1  | 1.2
|Cell 2.1  | 2.2

what about this one

* Hading * Heading 2
| x1     | x3
| x2     | x4

If people are open to bigger changes, a strict subset of the table syntax we've discussed for the OLPC document format would be:

|* Heading 1 *|* Heading 2 *|
|   Cell 1.1  |   Cell 1.2  |
|   Cell 2.1  |   Cell 2.2  |

Otherwise, we could adopt a bit of the OLPC syntax, and come up with something like:

|* Heading 1 |* Heading 2
| Cell 1.1   |  Cell 1.2
| Cell 2.1   |  Cell 2.2

i like the second one, first one could be optional, like with headings where trailing equals signs are optional, but what would happen if i would like to use bold in cells

|* Heading 1 |* Heading 2
|**Cell 1.1**|  Cell 1.2
|**Cell 2.1**|  Cell 2.2

kind of confusing. I think we are using way to many stars anyway (in case unordered lists will begin with *)...
