Aliases to create tables

Hello everybody.


I often use the following examples to create tables:

ALIASES     = "TabBegin = <TABLE><TR><TD>" \
                         "TabEnd   = </TD></TR></Table>" \
                         "I        = </TD><TD>" \
                         
"I________________________________________________________________________________ 
= </TD></TR><TR><TD>" \
                         
"I_______________________________________________________________________________ 
= </TD></TR><TR><TD>" \
                         
"I______________________________________________________________________________ 
= </TD></TR><TR><TD>" \
                            .
                            .
                            .
                               the number of "_" changes from 80 to 1
                            .
                            .
                            .
                         "I_ = </TD></TR><TR><TD>"

This tags produce html-tables in the documentation


This is a source example where the new commands are used:
 @TabBegin
               Title 1         @I            Title 2         @I      Title 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 1 column 1  @I   row 1 column 2   @I   row 1 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 2 column 1  @I   row 2 column 2   @I   row 2 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 3 column 1  @I   row 3 column 2   @I   row 3 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 4 column 1  @I   row 4 column 2   @I   row 4 column 3
@TabEnd

Since more the one @I___-commands are defined it is possible to use 
short lines for small tables and long lines for tables with more columns.

May be it is a good idea to change the design of the aliases a little 
bit. For example it may be good to insert tag to write the headline in bold.

ALIASES     = "TabBegin = <TABLE><TR><TD><B>" \
                         "Ib        = </B></TD><TD><B>" \
                         "IbEnd        = </B>\

This is a source example where the new commands are used:

 @TabBegin
               Title 1         @Ib           Title 2        @Ib      
Title 3     @IbEnd
  @I______________________________________________
       row 1 column 1  @I   row 1 column 2   @I   row 1 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 2 column 1  @I   row 2 column 2   @I   row 2 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 3 column 1  @I   row 3 column 2   @I   row 3 column 3
  @I______________________________________________
       row 4 column 1  @I   row 4 column 2   @I   row 4 column 3
@TabEnd


Is there a special alias-archive with other examples like this?
