Markdown Syntax: Tables

(Requires flag MD_FLAG_TABLES.)

Basic table example of a table with two columns and three lines (when not counting the header) is as follows:

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|----------|----------|
| foo      | bar      |
| baz      | qux      |
| quux     | quuz     |

The leading and succeeding pipe characters (|) on each line are optional:

Column 1 | Column 2
---------|---------
foo      | bar
baz      | qux
quux     | quuz

However for one-column table, at least one of those has to be used, otherwise
it would be parsed as a Setext title followed by paragraph.

Leading and trailing whitespace in a table cell is ignored and the columns do
not need to be aligned.

Column 1	Column 2
foo	bar
baz	qux
quux	quuz

It's possible to specify alignment of a table column by colon in the line separating table head from its body.

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4
default	left	center	right

To include a literal pipe character in any cell, it has to be escaped.

Column 1	Column 2
foo	bar
baz	qux | xyzzy
quux	quuz

Contents of each cell is parsed as an inline text which may contents any
inline Markdown spans like emphasis, strong emphasis, links etc.

Column 1	Column 2
foo	bar
baz	qux
quux	quuz
