Hi Dan I was initially confused by this markup because I thought t, r, and c stood for Top, Right, and Center. I far prefer the more wordy but completely clear notation used by SimplifiedAdvancedTableDirectives. If the tables are going to nest then some kind of enumeration would help, as in [table 3] ... [tableend 3] I would also like to see the table elements arranged more-or-less as they would appear (neither recipe does this from what I can see). So: [table] [row] [cell one] [cell two] [row] ... etc. -- Neil Herber Corporate info at http://www.eton.ca/ _______________________________________________ pmwiki-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-devel
