+======
+
+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>
+
