Table

• Description: Delimits a table row, with any number of columns
• Properties: Multiline, FreeSpaces, Align, !Nesting
• Contains: Macros, Beautifiers, Raw, Tagged, Links, Image, Comment
• Syntax:
  • A leading pipe "|" identifies a table row
  • A leading double pipe "||" identifies a table title row
  • Leading spaces before first pipe identifies table centered align
  • The fields are separated by the " | " string (space pipe space)
  • A final pipe "|" at the first table row sets visible borders
  • A final pipe "|" at the other table rows are ignored (just cosmetic)
  • Closing a cell with more than one pipe "|" identifies column span: "||" for 2 columns, "|||" for 3 and so on
  • Natural spaces inside each cell identifies its alignment
  • Example: | table | row | with | five | columns |
• Details:
  • All the table row data must be on a single line of the source file, no line breaks inside
  • Targets with column-oriented align (like sgml and LaTeX), uses the first table row align as the default for the other rows
  • Any non-table line closes the opened table, except comment lines
  • The cell count is flexible, each table row can have a different number of cells
  • Currently there's no way to specify row span
  • If the target does not have table support, the table lines are considered a Verbatim Area
