Where do you want bug reports?

For now, I'll post it here... for current version, i.e.
easy_install -U wikklytext

Bug:
Table header row with "h" suffix throws a Python exception.
Example:

| foo | bar | h
| aaa | bbb |

Work around is to use "|!" (avoid "h" suffix).
|! foo |! bar |
| aaa | bbb |

Bug/Cosmetic:
Table row span doesn't accept white space around "~"

| big cell xxx | big cell yyy |
| ~ | row span ignored |

| big cell xxx | big cell yyy |
|~| row span okay, but visual alignment in markup is impossible |

Nice Features:
I like the markup improvements, relative to TiddlyWiki,
such as white space before list "*" and "#",
and the two-newlines for paragraph breaks...
Thanks 8^)

Right here :-)

Yep, I don't think I've implemented 'h', or several other table codes. Tables are really difficult to get right with the current parser. A "2.0" parser has been on the back burner for a while that would make it a lot easier to get things like this right .... one of these days :-)

Hm ... Ok, I'll have to investigate that one since that should work.

There are probably some cases where this breaks TW markup but yeah I like it better this way -- feels more text-editor friendly.
