Lightweight tables #17

Open kizu opened 10 years ago

kizu commented 10 years ago

Tables in lightweight markup languages is an interesting thing.

The best solution I can think of now is not trying to recreate the table visually using the separators etc, but to use data structure language like json/yaml/toml etc for this.

Like, at first you're declaring which cols you would have, then the rows with the data.

There could be some things like defaults, links, nesting structures etc (like CSS support tables)
