I fixed it on the wiki for you. Take a look (edit the page), and you'll see how
easy it is to create a table: ||a||b||c||. (You can alternatively use the markup
<pre>...</pre>.)

FYI, how to edit the wiki is here:
 `HowTo' (a link at the top of each page) > `Edit'

In particular, see the link there called `TextFormattingRules'.

However, I notice now that the table construct, `||', is not mentioned
explicitly at `TextFormattingRules'. You'll find it by following the link
`Oddmuse:Usemod Markup Extension'. (Feel free to add a brief mention of it at
`TextFormattingRules', if you like.)
