are supported in a paragraph form, they start with an "@" character which is followed by the column delimiter:
@| column 1 | column 2 | column 3 aaa | bbb | ccc uuu | vvvv | www |
The first line of such a table is automatically formatted as table headline.
If a table row contains less columns than the table headline, the "missed" columns are automatically added. This is,
@| A | B | C 1 1 | 1 | 2 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
is streamed exactly as
@| A | B | C 1 | | 1 | | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
to make backend handling easier. (Empty HTML table cells, for example, are rendered slightly obscure by certain browsers unless they are filled with invisible characters, so a converter to HTML can detect such cells because of normalization and handle them appropriately.)
Please note that normalization refers to the headline row. If another line contains more columns than the headline, normalization does not care.
In all tables, leading and trailing whitespaces of a cell are automatically removed, so you can use as many of them as you want to improve the readability of your source. The following table is absolutely equivalent to the last example:
@| A | B | C 1 | | 1 | | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
There is also a more sophisticated way to describe tables, see the tag section.
