Arguably, this is clearer, and pmwiki *should* remove the empty cells
when generating HTML. However, I can't do that so easily as a local
customisation.
I think the above is better.
One could potentially come up with a markup that means "skip this cell
in output", as in:
||text ||span rows +++||column 3||
||text ||+++++++++++++||column 3||
||text ||+++++++++++++||column 3||
I like this idea. I don't suppose it'd generalize to spanning both
horizontally and vertically?
Vertically span of cells B1+B2 and cells B3+B4)
||A1 ||B1,B2 +++|| C1 ||
||A2 || +++|| C2 ||
||A3 ||B3,B4 +++|| C3 ||
||A4 || +++|| C4 ||
Horizontal span of cells B1+C1 and cells D1+E1:
||A1 ||B1,C1 +++||+++ ||D1,E1 +++||+++ ||
||A2 ||B2 || C2 ||D2 ||E2 ||
||A3 ||B3,B4 || C3 ||D3 ||E3 ||
||A4 || || C4 ||D4 ||E4 ||
Combined span of cells B1+B1+C1+C2:
||A1 ||B1,C1,B2,C2 +++||+++ ||D1,E1 ||+++ ||
||A2 || +++||+++ ||D2 ||E2 ||
||A3 ||B3,B4 || C3 ||D3 ||E3 ||
||A4 || || C4 ||D4 ||E4 ||
I'm definitely not sure about this, but I thought I'd throw out the idea.
The motivation is that maybe it's easier to explain spanning by saying
that the cells with '+++' are spanned together, regardless if it's
horizontally or vertically.

PS. I don't know if HTML support the last type of spanning (B1+B2+C1+C2).
