simple tables aren't too painful, as far as mark-up in plain text goes you can't ask for much simpler than '&' for seperating cells and '\\' for seperating rows. Complex tables are indeed a PITA. But I maintain the situation in both cases is a lot better than HTML, with all those darn verbose start *and end* tags. For something that a human is reading and editing, brackets (plus an editor that can tell you whether they match and what they're matching) seems much preferable. -- -- |Andrew Tarr | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://arc.stuff.gen.nz |GPG Public Key:- http://arc.stuff.gen.nz/andrew.gpg |_____ "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportions" --Francis Bacon |~~~~~ |
