+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'])
+
