The OldStyleTablePlugin can be used to include tables within a wiki
page using the old-style markup syntax for tables.

!!Usage:

<verbatim>
<?plugin OldStyleTable caption="OldStyleTable" border||=2
||^  *Name*                |v *Cost*   |v *Notes*
| *First*     | *Last*
|> Jeff       |< Dairiki   |^  Cheap   |< Not worth it
|> Marco      |< Polo      | Cheaper   |< Not available
?>
</verbatim>

will get you

<?plugin OldStyleTable caption="OldStyleTable" border||=2
||^  *Name*                |v *Cost*   |v *Notes*
| *First*     | *Last*
|> Jeff       |< Dairiki   |^  Cheap   |< Not worth it
|> Marco      |< Polo      | Cheaper   |< Not available
?>

Note that multiple __|__s lead to spanned columns, and __v__s can be
used to span rows.  A __>__ generates a right justified column, __<__
a left justified column and __^__ a centered column (which is the
default.)

!! Plugin Arguments

__caption__:

  Any string. Default: ""

__border__:

  Any number. Default: 1

__cellspacing__:

  Any number. Default: 1

__cellpadding__:

  Any number. Default: 1

__summary__:

  Any string. Default: ""

----

Note that within each table cell, _new-style_ markup is used.  You can
only use inline markup --- no block level markup is allowed within
table cells.

(Using old-style markup wouldn't make much sense, since one can't
include multi-line plugin invocations using the old-style markup
rules.)
