+Tables
+----------------
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+The Table Extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown documents.
+
+This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+Tables are defined using the syntax established in [PHP Markdown Extra][php].
+
+[php]: http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#table
+
+Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):
+
+First Header | Second Header
+------------- | -------------
+Content Cell | Content Cell
+Content Cell | Content Cell
+
+will be rendered as:
+
+<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>
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+From the Python interpreter:
+
+ >>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['tables'])
+
