A while ago, I designed a syntax supporting colspan (the last pipe of the line being optional): || are easier | than | | any | markdown | flavor | The number of consecutive pipes would increase the colspan value. I think I also had support for rowspan but I don't remember how. The XWiki syntax [1] also supports it by letting you use HTML attributes. |=Title 1|=(% style="background-color:yellow" %)Title 2 |(% colspan=2 %) Word 1 Word 2 Arguably more clunky and less intuitive, but more powerful I guess.
