Werner, The exact detail needs to be worked out but I agree with Saq its all doable in wikitext. I also use the HTML table tags rather than tiddlywiki table markup. As long as you do not break the rules of html tables its easy to have a variable number or rows or columns in a table if you wrap that element in another and use a list to iterate the items. Boarders and setting column title sis a little more tricky but doable
Rather than rowspan you can iterate the cells but display: none; and other methods. Also remember you can use the count widget or count operator to determine how many items in a set and use the range operator to iterate them once you know. Effectively you nest list widgets within table elements.
