Applying patch for table attributes and styling markup ( http://temp.tormodh.net/wakka.attributes.patch) as [169]

(optional) parameters have been moved after the separator, e.g.:

|=|(x:2)This is a header spanning two columns||.

(optional) style settings can now be added using single braces, e.g.:

|=|(x:2){color:red}This header has red text||.

As of [761], the <table> element is not closed by the formatter if no content is added to a page other than tabular markup.

This bug was introduced by some recent modification to trunk. docs.wikkawiki.org, running on an earlier trunk version  correctly renders tables

The bug was introduced by [628], which forgot the 'format_option' in the compact() function.

At least, this has shown that the strategy used for this tip is very, very opaque, and may lead, soon or later, to problem.

todo: more comments to explain the tip.

The formatters/wakka.php, is waiting for a variable named $format_option This variable is passed to the Wakka::Format() method. The Wakka::Format() method uses compact('text', 'format_option') instead of $text and $format_option. This is obscure. Wakka::IncludeBuffered() then uses extract($vars) to restore the value of $format_option.

Retargeting to 1.3. Code for this ticket may have already been committed to trunk, from which 1.3 will be branched. Consider backporting urgent issues to 1.2.X

[DarTar]

Disregard previous change. This will be the major focus of 1.2.

[TormodHaugen]

Will port this over to 1.2
