Some reflections on using quickbook

Hi,

I am getting used to the quickbook format (a lot faster to write and 
easier to read than boostbook!) However, I have a few observations:

1.  Tables - I can't specify row or column spans (cells that span 
several rows or columns). This is easy in HTML via rowspan and colspan, 
but there is no quickbook equivalent.

2.  Pre - the following fragment isn't processed correctly:

[Run this command line:
 [pre cat file.txt | grep -F hello]
]

3.  Code - you can't specify no syntax highlighting:

[Run this command line: ``echo Hello World!``]

4.  Code - adjacent code fragments aren't concatenated:

[For example:
  ``int foo()``
  ``{``
  ``}``
]

5.  Code fragments spanning multiple lines retain all whitespace, thus 
the code fragment:

[For example:
  ``int foo()
    {
       std::cout << "bar" << std::endl;
    }``
]

gets incorrectly formatted w.r.t. spacing.
