That could probably be arranged, and it is definitely a good idea. Markdown would work well with it. My conventions so far are that spreadsheet lines start with anything (though that could be changed to "|" since that is the separator), "command" lines start with % and comments with #. I guess I could change it so that spreadsheet lines start with "|", command lines with "%", and everything else is considered Markdown. Similarly, Markdown could be changed to accept these characters as starting special "spreadsheet" lines.
The syntax is something I kind of threw together in haste, with only guide to have it similar to Excel syntax, so there is a lot of room for improvement, and I am not too committed to it at the moment. (To begin with, we need to have a lot more commands created. Right now it only does sums, products and averages.)
Haris,
You might want to check the MultiMarkdown table syntax. It would be really cool if your spreadsheet just turned into a nicely formatted table. The syntax is here: http://fletcher.freeshell.org/wiki/ MultiMarkdown
