WikiShouldOfferSimplifiedUseOfTables

The title in itself is a whole program.

I will try to sketch a proposal for a simple syntax for entering tables.

See MeatBall:TableSyntax (and more pointedly, MoinMoin:HelpOnTables.)

Having just painstakingly worked on [[Las Vegas/Climate]], I can say that I second the proposal for a simplified
use of tables.  I looked at the code, and realized that this is an option I can set.  So I have for now turned it ON, unless someone comes up with a very good reason why we shouldn't.

The HTML syntax is not too bad, and people can't really do very much evil with it.  Edit this page to see how I made this table in html.

A very simple table:

Item one Item two
Item three Item four
A little bit fancier table:
Item one Item two
Item three Item four
Item five
