User:Zocky 16:57, 14 Dec 2003 (UTC) :It does, I should have written column instead of columns, even though the CSV would be just like columns. Following your suggest, what I had in mind for List of cities by country is something like: :Country (1-200);city name;rank (usually 1-5);population (maybe);capital (if applicable) :--User:Docu :How about:
| Australia | Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra |
| Belize | Belize City, Corozal Town, Dangriga, Orange Walk Town, Belmopan (ranked 6) |
