Tables¶

Summary¶

The Tables extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown documents.

Tables are defined using the syntax established in PHP Markdown Extra.

Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>First Header</th>
      <th>Second Header</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Content Cell</td>
      <td>Content Cell</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Content Cell</td>
      <td>Content Cell</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
