If your table like layout cannot be made with toggling preformatted

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this. Also, I actuallydon't like the ```...``` layout I've used here, and I'm open tosuggestions for replacing it. The primary concern to me is the actualtable syntax.
If you really need tables, maybe large tables, who is stopping the
author from using xml, http, csv, or whatnot, and make it a
downloadable file?
Well, yes, I agree. In fact, I said the same thing in my initial mailon this topic. But what about small tables? Yes, they can be done in aseparate file, but that's often too much work for them - it's mucheasier to just do it inline. Especially when there are many of them.Having a separate file also makes it harder on users, particularly forthose who don't have clients that do table inlining (e.g. gmnlm).
