Oups...

I agree with theese purposes on Structured Text...
I would like to be able to write simple tables with Structured Text. Something like :
| FirstName | LastName | Age | | Olivier | Deckmyn | 25 | | Guido | Van Rossum | 32 | | Linus | Torvald | 29 |
That will build a simple table : <table> <tr> <td>FirstName</td><td>LastName</td><td>Age</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Olivier </td><td>Deckmyn</td><td>25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Guido</td><td>Van Rossum</td><td>32</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Linus </td><td>Torvald </td><td>29</td> </tr> </table>
Customization could be done with CSS...
Thanx !

I agree with your points, but what is more important for me, is that the rendered HTML is syntatically correct
* this is an item
* another item
* a third item
currently renders as :
<ul> <li><p>this is an item</p> <li><p>another item</p> <li><p>a third item</p> </ul>
which is not very slick.. I'd prefer a forward-compatible list-rendering format, complying with HTML4.0 and XHTML, looking like this :
<ul> <li>this is an item</li> <li>another item</li> <li>a third item</li> </ul>
Anybody who has tried to make Netscape4.x understand CSS without properly closing tags will understand my point..
