table spans

[Waylan Limberg]

The table implementation that ships with Python-Markdown is a clone of
PHP Extra's implementation [1] so no, there is no support for column
spans. As I've stated before on this list, I am in the "tables should
be raw html" camp, so I don't anticipate Python-Markdown getting a
more feature complete tables implementation any time soon.

That said, there are a couple third party extensions [2] which offer
different table implementations. Perhaps one of those will serve your
needs. Or maybe not. I haven't looked at them in awhile.
