For what its worth, I have hacked in a perl wiki a table syntax
that looks like:
T---------T-------------T---------------T
Row one cell 1
Row one cell1
Row one cell 2
Row one cell 2
Row one cell 3
Row two cell 1
Row two cell 2
Row two cell 3
T-------------------------------
Explanation follows
Mark out a 3 column table with :
T-------T----------T----------------T
The length of the dashes indicates the relative size of the column.
This makes adjusting the size of columns in the table very easy.
Each row is separated by a blank line.
The text in a cell starts at the same level of indentation.
Start a new cell by changing the indentation.
End the table with a T followed by some number of dashes.
