Not quite. My feeling is that coupling |= might do. It is consistent with || and allows for |=|= repetition. Also, it clearly cannot be confused with the == (heading) and leaves space to any =sum or other spreadsheet like functions. It is plain to type on my keyboard and visually recalls what indeed rowspan is for. Just in case: why was Peter's caret ^ rejected? That also could work, either alone (which I would *not* prefere, as it is already widely used for other purposes like ^2) or better coupled with the table markup |^ Luigi _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
