New way to create a table in markdown - and because this is very interesting

Hi all! Community Commonmark!

I would like to help with the table syntax, I would like to include this table syntax:

table syntax - my initial proposal, my idea

{ 
  header1, header2, header3, header4 ... 
  } {
  value1 header1,  value 2 header1 ... 
  value1 header2,  value 2 header2 ... 
  value1 header3,  value 2 header3 ... 
  value1 header4,  value 2 header4 ...  
}

Problems that the syntax seeks to solve

  1. CSV tables for markdown
  2. This table syntax is similar to the MediaWiki table syntax with a few changes:

mediawiki

{|
! Header !! Another header
|-
| field 1 || something
|-
| field 2
| something else
|}

Pros or advantages of this syntax

  1. Most people know csv and css files
  2. no indentation required
  3. If you have a lot of data would you would have a lot of rows and columns data, to make this easier the syntax tries to solve this by adding {} for header and data body
  4. looks a bit like csv
  5. If you have a lot of data it would be interesting to use this syntax to add this in a few descriptions.
  6. It’s easy to maintain
  7. It’s easy to manage
  8. Header data is separate from body data
  9. It’s easy to control this table data
  10. Anyone who is a web developer is used to css, a syntax I describe here is similar to something from css
  11. You don’t need to have additional knowledge, it’s easy as it looks like csv and css

Cons

  1. would like to know what you guys think
  2. may be ugly syntax for many, it’s an alternative to table pattern in markdown

other idea 1

{| 
  header1, header2, header3, header4 ... 
 |} {| 
  value1 header1,  value 2 header1 ... 
  value1 header2,  value 2 header2 ... 
  value1 header3,  value 2 header3 ... 
  value1 header4,  value 2 header4 ...  
|}

other idea 2

| 
  header1, header2, header3, header4 ... 
 | | 
  value1 header1,  value 2 header1 ... 
  value1 header2,  value 2 header2 ... 
  value1 header3,  value 2 header3 ... 
  value1 header4,  value 2 header4 ...  
|

other idea 3

[header, header1, header2]
 header1: [data1 header 1, data2 header1, data3 header1]
 header2: [data1 header 2, data2 header2, data3 header2]
 header3: [data1 header 3, data2 header3, data3 header3]

other idea 3.1

[header, header1, header2]
[data, data, data, data, data ...]

pros - idea 1, 2, 3 or idea 3.1

  • looks like r language syntax
  • everything is array
  • line->column
