Hi!
Is it possible in the common syntax to have a table without headers?
Yes.
Table headers: "||" or "!!" Table cells: "|" or "::" So you can create a table containing only simple cells (td) or only headers (th). And, of course, you can mix them; header cells can be insterted everywhere you want in a table.
A table with cells only: | Cell 1.1 | Cell 1.2 | Cell 1.3 | Cell 2.1 | Cell 2.2 | Cell 2.3 | Cell 3.1 | Cell 3.2 | Cell 3.3 OR: :: Cell 1.1 :: Cell 1.2 :: Cell 1.3 :: Cell 2.1 :: Cell 2.2 :: Cell 2.3 :: Cell 3.1 :: Cell 3.2 :: Cell 3.3
A table with headers only: || Header 1.1 || Header 1.2 || Header 1.3 || Header 2.1 || Header 2.2 || Header 2.3 || Header 3.1 || Header 3.2 || Header 3.3 OR: !! Header 1.1 !! Header 1.2 !! Header 1.3 !! Header 2.1 !! Header 2.2 !! Header 2.3 !! Header 3.1 !! Header 3.2 !! Header 3.3
Mixture: || Header 1.1 || Header 1.2 || Header 1.3 || Header 2.1 | Cell 2.2 | Cell 2.3 || Header 3.1 | Cell 3.2 | Cell 3.3 OR: !! Header 1.1 !! Header 1.2 !! Header 1.3 !! Header 2.1 :: Cell 2.2 :: Cell 2.3 !! Header 3.1 :: Cell 3.2 :: Cell 3.3
Delimiters "::" and "!!" for cells and headers respectively are used for non-english keyboard layouts (like russian) where pipe symbols ("|") does not exist. Table creation with pipes in russian is very very painful - you have to swich keybord layout every time when you need to create a new cell or a header. With "::" and "!!" there is no problem!
