Editing HTML tables

    Editing HTML tables

    Tables are a basic staple of almost any web page.  WA currently has a table creation function in its web page editor which I use frequently.  But editing the table after it has been created is generally a long, tedious Edit HTML session.  At least I can do this; we also have some content folks that don't really understand HTML.  They tend to mess up existing tables and then have to delete and recreate them from scratch.

    Could you add an integrated table editor to the web page editor?  I looking initially just for simple things like:  adding rows to the end of the table, adding columns to the right of the table, deleting single rows & columns, modifying the borders and backgrounds, and changing the table width percentage.  Ideally, an Edit Table toolbar button would identify the table where the cursor is sitting and display it in a special dialog box where these manipulations could be performed.

    I'm sure you can get fancy with this by version 4.x.x where you can add rows & columns in the middle of a table, swap and move rows up and down, delete groups of rows, etc. etc., but right now I just need to keep folks from shooting themselves in the foot when updating tables.  Thanks!
