I agree that it should be possible to do this kind of markup without 
having to write classes for it. Having said that, the classes you have 
to write are really simple. Trivial almost. I think it can be done in 10 
- 15 lines of code total. Still too much, I admit, but less than doing 
it through QTableWidget I think.
