Synopsis

Mark up for tables.

Syntax

| _Header_~1~ | _Header_~2~ | ... |
| ---- | --- | --- |
| _Entry_~11~  | _Entry_~12~  | ... |
| _Entry_~21~  | _Entry_~22~  | ... |

The "column specification", that's the line with the dashes, may also contain hints for left, right and centered aligment:

| _Header_~1~ | _Header_~2~ | ... |
| :---- | :---: | ---: |
| _Entry_~11~  | _Entry_~12~  | ... |
| _Entry_~21~  | _Entry_~22~  | ... |

Tables follow the standard markdown syntax for tables.

Example 1

| A  | B  | C |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 11 | 12 | 13 |
| 21 | 22 | 23 |

gives:

A	B	C
11	12	13
21	22	23

Example 2

| A  | B  | C |
|:--- | ---:|:---:|
| 1111 | 1221 | 1331 |
| 21 | 22 | 23 |

gives (with column B centered):

A	B	C
1111	1221	1331
21	22	23

Example 3

| Operator   | Description |
| ---        | ---         |
| `A | B`    | Or operator |
| A | B | Or operator |

gives (note the escaped | character in one table entry):

Operator	Description
`A	B`
A | B	Or operator
