Markdown: tables
language: markdown
Tables are not in commonmark, and the minimum that represents a table varies greatly
between markdown flavors. Some require separator rows (| --- | --- |), some don't, and
some specify where they can occur
Rewrap has quite a permissive specification to try to accommodate all of thee. To
differentiate from normal paragraph text, the following is considered a table:
- Two or more consecutive lines that:
- are indented no more than 3 spaces relative to the parent block, and
- contain at least one pipe (|) character not preceded by a backslash (\)
- And, at least one of the lines contains only the characters | : - and space, with
at least 1 | and one -.
a | table ¦ -> a | table ¦
- | - ¦ - | - ¦
not | a ¦ -> not | a table | no ¦
table | no ¦ ¦
A table can interrupt a paragraph.
