You can see it at [[Cookbook/Text2Tbl]]. This is going to be most useful in 2 situations as I forsee:

* for people who would like to compose their tables using some
  column-divider other than || (i.e. put multiple spaces to line up your
  columns visually or separate your columns with a semi-colon or
  something)

* for data which is already structured but not in a wiki-table and you
  want to convert it to a wiki table (i.e., CSV or similar)

Do note that this is NOT markup. This provides ReplaceOnEdit patterns which actually alter your markup.

I think the idea of a ROE pattern is quite clever. Primarily I was thinking of two use cases:

* The table was produced as the output of some simple program/calculation.
  In this case a ROE pattern will work well. The result after the
  replacement should probably depend on what table markups that are
  available, there are some interesting ideas in this thread.

* Writing the table on the wiki page without clutter, i.e. the markup
  should visually look like a table. It's ok if this doesn't allow
  all kinds of special formatting, e.g. horizontal alingment.
