Description Each line in a table description starts and ends with a | character which is also used to separate columns.

A table description consists of:
  • A line of headers that will be displayed as column names.
  • A line with separators that can optionally specify column alignment. The default case is that each column is described by one or more - characters. This corresponds to centered alignment. Left alignment is described by a column description that starts with a : character and right alignment by a column description that end with a : character.
  • Lines given the table entries, separated by | characters.
