I know, I know. Still doesn't mean I don't want it to stay how it is.
I do my table formatting in Word. If I can copy/paste from it, that'll make it simpler, but I have my doubts as to if it'll work or not.Also since a graphical interface for table generation is announced, you should see whether that will make it easier for you.
My usual method is "Copy table, copy new malformated table back, replace [Tab-spaces] with |, copy it BACK, slap on the tags.", so if it makes it simpler than that, I guess I can live with it.
Otherwise, I'm probably gonna go make some .pngs of my tables and link 'em.
