+title: Tables Extension
+
+Tables
+======
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+The Tables extension adds the ability to create tables in Markdown documents.
+
+This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.

+
+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):
+
+```md
+First Header | Second Header
+------------- | -------------
+Content Cell | Content Cell
+Content Cell | Content Cell
+```
+
+will be rendered as:
+
+```html
+<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
+-----
+
+See [Extensions](index.md) for general extension usage, specify
+`markdown.extensions.tables` as the name of the extension.
+
