Indeed, the confusion surrounding the "skips" over rowspanned cells is part of the reason I never worked too hard to accommodate a rowspan markup. One could potentially come up with a markup that means "skip this cell in output", as in: ||text ||span rows +++||column 3|| ||text ||+++++++++++++||column 3|| ||text ||+++++++++++++||column 3|| In this case, PmWiki would simply omit the cells containing only ++'s from the HTML output, or otherwise convert those into something that is innocuous to XHTML but perhaps useful to other conversions such as LaTeX or the like.
