Tables
======

Summary
-------

The Tables extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown documents.

This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.

Syntax
------

Tables are defined using the syntax established in [PHP Markdown Extra][php].

[php]: http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#table

Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):

First Header  | Second Header
    ------------- | -------------
    Content Cell  | Content Cell
    Content Cell  | Content Cell

will be rendered as:

<table>
      <thead>
        <tr>
          <th>First Header</th>
          <th>Second Header</th>
        </tr>
      </thead>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>Content Cell</td>
          <td>Content Cell</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Content Cell</td>
          <td>Content Cell</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
