!!! Rows versus Columns
I think there are two ways, column and row orientation. Most wikis are row oriented. For some tasks rows are better, for some tasks columns are better. I'm astonished that not more wikis implement column based tables (perhaps because HTML, LaTeX are row oriented).
{{{
>> Header1
> column1, row1
> column1, row2
> column1, row3
>> Header2
> column2, row1
> column2, row2
> column2, row3
}}}
This is easy to cut and paste, doesn't interfere with long lines, line breaks or markup. It's easy to add rows and easy to add columns. Hard thing is to find the right row when there are lots of rows and few columns (row orientation might be better then). Harder to implement than row orientation, because HTML is row
oriented. Multi row is easy
{{{
>,> rowspan 2
}}}
but column span is more difficult. Could be done with an empty line
