I appreciate your efforts.\r\n\r\nI would like to write tables with merged cell in markdown documents as below.\r\n\r\n<table>\r\n<caption>table_1</caption>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td colspan=\"3\">horizontal merged cell</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td rowspan = \"2\">vertical merged cell</td>\r\n<td>data 1</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<td>data 2</td>\r\n</table>\r\n\r\nI know that Markdown does not support this feature, so that I think that is good to implement in code block just like other extended features in this package, PlantUML, Viz.js, Mermaid and so on.\r\nI also know that merged cell can be written by Latex, but I must type so many characters in this notation...\r\n\r\nI propose two notation for merged cell, table notation of \"textile\" and \"Seesaa[\\*] wiki\".\r\n[\\*]: Seesaa is a Japanese company providing Blog and Wiki services. [Tabel notation of Seesaa wiki](http://seesaawiki.jp/w/tag_guide/d/%a5%c6%a1%bc%a5%d6%a5%eb%28%c9%bd%c1%c8%a4%df%29%b5%ad%cb%a1)(Sorry in Japanese...)\r\n\r\nFor example, in textile notation, you can write a table with merged cell as below.\r\n```\r\n|\\2. horizontal merged cell |\r\n|/2. vertical merged cell | data1 |\r\n|data2|\r\n```\r\nThe code is rendered as above *table_1*. \"\\n.\" means n columns are merged, \"/n.\" means n rows are merged.\r\n\r\nIn Seesaa wiki notation,\r\n```\r\n| > | horizontal merged cell        |\r\n| vertical merged cell      | data1 |\r\n| ^                        | data2 |\r\n```\r\nThe code is also rendered as above *table_1*. \">\" means the cell are merged the right cell. \"^\" means the cell are merged the upper cell.\r\n\r\nIn textile notation, we must know and set the number of merged cell, so it maybe a little bit of a pain to add a new row or column.\r\nIn Seesaa wiki notation, it is very easy to add a new merged row or column. But the notation is not known globally. It maybe well-known notation in actual but I have not known... \r\n\r\nIf possible, I prefer to use Seesaa's notation to merge cells.\r\nI would appreciate if you will adopt my proposal.\r\nThank you for reading the long text."}}
