OldStyleTablePlugin
The OldStyleTablePlugin can be used to include tables within a wiki page using the old-style markup syntax for tables.
<?plugin OldStyleTable ||^ Name |v Cost |v Notes | First | Last |> Jeff |< Dairiki |^ Cheap |< Not worth it |> Marco |< Polo | Cheaper |< Not available ?>
will get you
<?plugin OldStyleTable ||^ Name |v Cost |v Notes | First | Last |> Jeff |< Dairiki |^ Cheap |< Not worth it |> Marco |< Polo | Cheaper |< Not available ?>
Note that multiple '|'s lead to spanned columns, and 'v's can be used to span rows. A '>' generates a right justified column, '<' a left justified column and '^' a centered column (which is the default.)
Note that within each table cell, new-style markup is used. You can only use inline markup --- no block level markup is allowed within table cells.
(Using old-style markup wouldn't make much sense, since one can't include multi-line plugin invocations using the old-style markup rules.)
