There are two syntaxes for tables:
Grid tables; complete, but complex and verbose:
+------------------------+------------+----------+
| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+========================+============+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
+------------------------+------------+----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span |
+------------------------+-----------------------+
Simple tables; easy and compact, but limited:
==================== ========== ==========
Header row, column 1 Header 2 Header 3
==================== ========== ==========
body row 1, column 1 column 2 column 3
body row 2 Cells may span columns
==================== ======================
