It seems like there is no such plugin yet. Then, I'll write a plugin 'Wiki Table', which follows the standard used in Wikipedia. Please drop me a note if anybody has a better suggestion.

Hang tight a second. I think it's been done but I didn't think enough when your post was fresh. Lemme dig a bit...

Check out http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=2480 and see if it suits your fancy. I can't say if it'll work with what version, or what was in CVS when the final post was added to it, so maybe it's just clutter?

Actually it's probably way more than you seek since I seem to recall it being some sort of masterblaster be-all taggy monster. As I recall I felt it was cool for those already comfortable with the syntax. It's possible where you want to go will (a) be table-focused and (b) have a simpler syntax driving it.

Syntax isn't fair. Why should I pay the government for my vices?

Thanks EdB. I just studied the post you mentioned, about Markdown syntax.
Unfortunately I found that it doesn't support any simple syntax to create xhtml table too. :roll: So, we may still need to create one.
