This will let you create tables in your source text. The easiest way to describe it is to show an example:
|| Cell 1 || Cell 2 ||
|| Cell 3 || Cell 4 ||
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
| Cell 3 | Cell 4 |
If you include a blank line between table lines, you will start a new table.
|| cell 1 || cell 2 ||
|| cell 3 || cell 4 ||
You can align the contents of a cell by including a <, =, or > character after the || marker.
||< left ||= center ||> right ||
|| The quick brown || fox jumps over || the lazy dog. ||
| left | center | right |
| The quick brown | fox jumps over | the lazy dog. |
You can mark a cell as a <th> cell by using a ~ character after the || marker.
||~ header 1 ||~ header 2 ||
|| data 1 || data 2 ||
| header 1 | header 2 |
| data 1 | data 2 |
To span multiple rows, use multiple || markers.
|| cell 1 || cell 2 || cell 3 || cell 4 ||
|||| span 2 cols || third || fourth ||
|| first |||||| span 3 cols ||
| cell 1 | cell 2 | cell 3 | cell 4 |
| span 2 cols | third | fourth |
| first | span 3 cols |
