The syntax is quite simple and you can choose if you like a sorted table. I think it would help users to create tables more easily. To encourage users to use the syntax, we also have a table icon in the toolbar, which places a full table in the edit box.
Sortable does not look so good. This is because it needs to be defined in Mediawiki:common.css with the proper css-format. --GunterS21:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
