This is the current correct syntax for tables:

This

||head1||head2

|field11|field12|
|field21|field22|

I would also like to see a way to span a cell so if I was to do

This

||head1||head2||
|field11|field12|
|field21

it would produces a table where field21 spaned the columns head1 and head2. While now it produces this:
