"No parameters can be added to |- tags;
not that I ever saw a table on wikipedia which uses that!"
If you search the en: cur sql dump file for '<tr ' you will find
hundreds of examples;
Most are in these categories:
<tr style=background:#efefef ;>
<tr valign="bottom">
<tr bgcolor="#CCFFFF">
<tr align="center">
Secondly, I suggest using another character for captions.
|_ is too similar to |- and therefore hard to detect when editing the
source, easy to confuse and mistype.
