TABLE_RULEconstant

Table.

• Markdown-style pipe table: a header row, a |---| delimiter row, then body rows.
• Cells are pipe-separated; outer pipes are optional and whitespace around cells is trimmed.
• Extra |---| delimiter rows split the table into sections: the first section becomes <thead>, the last becomes <tfoot> (only when there are three or more sections), and every section in between becomes its own <tbody>.
• Column count and per-column alignment (:-- left, --: right, :-: centered) come from the first delimiter row; ragged rows are padded or truncated to that count.
• Cell content is rendered as inline markup; write \| for a literal pipe inside a cell.
