Subject: creating tables with internal borders with RedCloth

I'm having a problem using RedCloth. I know this question is more suited for a 
RedCloth mailing list, but the only one I found (the one on the RedCloth page 
on rubyforge) is for people who wants to contribute to it, not for those 
asking for help. If someone knows of another mailing list, please let me know.

My problem is quite simple: I want to use RedCloth and Textile to create a 
table with borders around the it and between all cells, as the one produced by 
specifying the rules="all" attribute to the html table tag:

<table rules="all" style="border:1px solid black">
...
</table>

I can't find out how to obtain this. The standard Textile syntax for tables 
produce a borderless table, while specifying the border style for the whole 
table, as shown in the Textile reference (http://hobix.com/textile/) only puts 
the border around the whole table.

I know I can insert the table using html, but before doing so, I'd like to be 
sure there isn't a better alternative.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Stefano
