Description
When you open the formatting help popup it lacks info about tables. AFAIK with textile markup it is possible to create tables using markup like that:
|cell|cell|cell| |another cell|merged cell||
Output:
| cell | cell | cell |
| another cell | another cell | another cell |
So as you see it is possible to create tables - too bad that help does not mention it - I needed to look after textile documentation to get that info. For me it is no problem but I manage Redmine for less technical people and they probably dont even look at help but strictly at the toolbar - when there is no table icon it means there is no tables. ;)

I agree, but what would a "table" button insert ? Two '|' ? We would probably need something a bit more evolved for such a button, such as a pop-up window asking for
- number of rows
- number of columns
- use headers ? (checkbox)
Once the template syntax is inserted, it probably becomes more natural to fill the cells and tweak it by hand.

It could work like in MS Word or OpenOffice.
