Creating a Decent Looking and Easily Editable HTML Table

Where I work, we're still growing and learning how best to leverage the abilities of SharePoint.

Along those lines, I'm working in a group of individuals from across the company to at least attempt at somewhat formalizing the way we create reference wikis for internal usage.

One particular thing I want to do better is creating a table, possibly using CSS, within the wiki edit/create window. Of course, the CSS/HTML work would be done in the HTML window (or done with another tool, and pasted in).

Currently, one example that was done was only be creating a table in Excel, and then copying/pasting it into the edit view of a wiki page.

From tinkering with it, it just seems to clunky and heavy for a couple of reasons:
[ol][li]It just doesn't look good, in my opinion[/li]
[li]It isn't easily editable. If you try to edit from the main "edit" window, you can easily throw the whole table off... unless you select the "insert row, etc" menus from the top of the edit window.[/li]
[/ol]

Also, I'm wondering whether this is the best use of SharePoint? For instance, would there be a way, instead, that we could create a table within SharePoint, or else import a workbook, that stores the data we want, and then have the wiki page import that data into the desired format?

Basically, at this point, I'm just putting a line out, seeing if anyone can offer any sort of suggestions at all. I'd be fine with looking at CSS, HTML, or whatever that will work with SharePoint, as well as any point and click type ideas.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
