Help/WikicreoleTablePlugin
The WikicreoleTable 
plugin allows a user to specify a <table> in Wikicreole syntax.
The plugin is not meant to be called directly, just use the syntax below to insert your table.
Wikicreole table syntax
All cells are separated by single pipes. Leading spaces are permitted before the first cell of a row and trailing spaces are permitted at the end of a line. The ending pipe is optional.
You can embed links, bold, italics, line breaks, and nowiki in table cells.
Equal sign directly following pipe defines a header. Headers can be arranged horizontally or vertically.
|=Heading Col 1 |=Heading Col 2 | |Cell 1.1 |Two lines\\in Cell 1.2 | |Cell 2.1 |Cell 2.2 |
will give:
| Heading Col 1 | Heading Col 2 |
|---|---|
| Cell 1.1 | Two lines in Cell 1.2 |
| Cell 2.1 | Cell 2.2 |
Toolbar
In the Edit Toolbar, the 
icon allows to create a Wikicreole table from Tab Separated Values.
You have to select the lines containing the Tab Separated Values and click on the icon. The resulting table will contain only normal cells, you can add headers if needed.
This feature is expecially useful when you copy spreadsheet cells from Libreoffice Calc or Excel. If Excel cells contain multiple lines, the results will be wrong, you will need to manually convert these multiline cells. In Libreoffice Calc, there is no such issue, but the newlines will be lost.
