Hello,
without having Wysiwyg table support, it is possible to have a more
friendly system, say a form ask you first column and rows number, and
then open a new HTML form with input fields in the same disposition as
the table cells. For existing table, the mouse pointer set on any part
of the table, a button can reopen the table in its interactive form.
I don't think this will be utterly complex. I think i have seen
something like that somewhere, but i am not able to track it back.
Regards
