Discussion

As great as this plugin is, it causes problems when trying to tabulate numerical data using DokuWiki's standard table notation, eg:

999 20 50
123 765 252
44 458 8548
58

Putting alphabetical characters in front of the numbers displays the table correctly. Would it be possible to only enable it for content between the {| and |} tags.

Thanks, Bob 10-Apr-08

Solved it myself by including a space before the numeric data :-D
