in the documentation it seems to mention that {| | A !! B || C |} have to be transformed in <table> <tr> <td>A</td> <th>B</th> <td>C</td> </tr> </table> but it doen't work may be a better syntax could be {| | A |! B !| C |} to be equivalent to {| | A ! B | C |}
> in the documentation it seems to mention that It does not say that on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Table. I think this is expected behaviour. If you do something like this: {| ! cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 |} then all the cells in this row become <th>s. Essentially, this means that if you want a <th>, you have to start a row with a !.
ok so the documentation doen't mention that... But as <th> is a cell marquer and not a line marquer it will be great to have this feature working but it has to change the way it works now {| ! A !| B |! C |} would look like <table> <tr> <th>A</th> <td>B</td> <th>C</th> </tr> </table> and {| ! A || B || C |} which have to be equivalent to {| ! A !| B || C |} will have to look like <table> <tr> <th>A</th> <td>B</td> <td>C</td> </tr> </table> instead of <table> <tr> <th>A</th> <th>B</th> <th>C</th> </tr> </table>
I'm tempted to mark this "wontfix", because this seems to me a fairly unusual requirement, and the below works fine: {| | A ! B | C |} For now, I'll just mark it as "severity:enhancement". I'm also removing keyword "parser", as writing a new parser wouldn't solve this because it is not a feature that doesn't work, it's one that hasn't been written.
