Hi,

This may not be germaine, but we use a LOT of tables having cells that span 
rows and columns. I too have wondered about how to markup text for such a 
table.

the best thing i have seen so far, is the ASCIIDoc markup for such tables. 

http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_example_tables

(See example 10 at this location.)

Once you understand what is going on here, it seems pretty parseable, and 
using AsciiDocfx, it previews the table also and generates accurate DocBook 
xml for the tables.

fwiw,


Russ
