Good idea! Should not be too hard to do i think. I'll have a look at  
it. Are you thinking of it as an exporting capability, or how the  
file actually looks like at all times?
Or more along the lines of turning the current selection back and  
forth between the two styles?

Hm, looking at it again, it might not be too easy to accomplish atm,  
at least not the active editing and moving around.
Adding headers should not be too hard, but having cells spanning more  
than one columns would not be too easy to do (emphasis on "too"  
here :) ). It would definitely be worth it though, to have the two  
systems consistent.

Exporting to a multimarkdown array could be done probably with almost  
no pain.

I mainly use spreadsheets to keep grade score for my classes, compute  
averages etc, so I haven't had the need for much fancy stuff like  
that, I was mainly interested on basic computing capabilities,  
formatting into columns and easy navigation between cells. I guess I  
should start thinking about it though, there seems to be a fair  
amount of interest in this. :)
