Hi Hans,

Is there any possible way to use the wiki-style tables like:

^ Heading 1 ^ Heading 2 ^ | Item 1    | Item 2 | | Item 3    | Item 4 |

(Probably with some wrapper)

Perhaps this boils down to asking if it is possible to (re)define "special" characters, within a region of text.

Hans already answered your question for mkiv. To a certain degree that's already implemented in the database module that also works with mkii (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/m-database) and sometimes a bit buggy, but it works. You may take a look at that one. Mojca
