My company uses instiki quite heavily and is happy to contribute time to solve some of the problems we are running into.
We would like wiki formatting for table layout with outlines, and row backgrounds. The {background:#ddd}. |asdf|asdf|asdf| does not seem to work for backgrounds when you have a table{...} tag ahead of it and usually not at all.
We tried to work around the limitation by inserting html but that has it's own challenges such as the size of the table is also the size of the empty space above the table. Attached is an example of html that causes this to happen and the type of formatting options we would like to add to instiki in support of tables.
If we are pointed in the right direction -- which files and templates need to be modified and any other relevant guidance, myself of someone on my team will get it working and submit the patch to CVS.
