Still not sure. Most said they liked the {{{ }}} notation. Right
now
I've implemented the {{nowiki}} macro. Do we still want/need this
at
the wiki syntax level?
I think we do since it'll easier to type than {{nowiki}}. I'll
create an issue in wikimodel to add it since we were all in
agreement.
See
http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=38
I guess I'll just remove the nowiki macro when it's done.

Also need more input.
My take is that we should go with a macro since this allows us to
have more options like filterable/sortable/pageable/etc than a wiki
syntax.
I was wrong. I've talked to Mikhail from wikimodel and what he's done
for the wikimodel common syntax is to allow parameters for tables in
the following manner:
* Parameters at the table level:
{{tableParam=value ...}}
|| column 1 || column 2
cell 1 | cell 2
* Parameters at the column level:
|| {{columnParam=value ...}} column 1 || column 2
cell 1 | cell 2
* Parameters at the line level:
|| column 1 || column 2
{{lineParam=value ...}} | Cell 1 | Cell 2
* Parameters at the cell level:
|| column 1 || column 2
{{cellParam=value...}} cell 1 | cell 2
He says it's easy to do the same for the XWiki Parser in wikimodel.
Of course we'll need to change the parameter delimiter since {{ }}
are
already used for macros for the xwiki syntax. But we could use
something like %% I guess.
So I'm now more in favor of having a wiki syntax for tables instead
of
a macro.
WDYT?
