Guillamume, Thanks for your reply.
Yes we could use the macro for layout ... but if the layout could be set out WYSIWYG/DTP style by inserting and dragging columns and row to get the width/height by eye it would make it easier for users to use and much better than any other wiki editor out on the web ... but how hard/easy to code I don't know!

As for cell heigth and width, I'd say it might be better to let the html rendering handle column size depending of the content of table cells. About the layout of wiki pages, what about creating a couple presentational macros (such as this one : http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/ColumnMacro ) to create CSS-based layouts instead of table-based ones ? > - is it possible to control the formatting of tables to make them invisible > (for layout purposes). I can try adding a control for table border / background color... Maybe not in the first version though, I'll look at that. > * Frames > - is it possible to add frames to display others web pages or wiki pages on > the wiki page being edited? Would the iframe macros ( http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/IframeMacro & http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/IframeNavigationMacro ) and the include macros ( http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/IncludeInContextMacro & http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/IncludeTopicMacro ) suit your needs ? They will be available from the WYSIWYG interface.
