DESCRIPTION

Simple tables can be specified in Perldoc using a =table block. The table may be given an associated description or title using the :caption option.

Each individual table cell is separately formatted, as if it were a nested =para.

Columns are separated by whitespace (by regex {2,}), vertical lines (|), or border intersections (+). Rows can be specified in one of two ways: either one row per line, with no separators; or multiple lines per row with explicit horizontal separators (whitespace, intersections (+), or horizontal lines: -, =, _) between every row. Either style can also have an explicitly separated header row at the top.

Each individual table cell is separately formatted, as if it were a nested =para.

This means you can create tables compactly, line-by-line:

    =table
        The Shoveller   Eddie Stevens     King Arthur's singing shovel   
        Blue Raja       Geoffrey Smith    Master of cutlery              
        Mr Furious      Roy Orson         Ticking time bomb of fury      
        The Bowler      Carol Pinnsler    Haunted bowling ball           

or line-by-line with multi-line headers:

    =table
        Superhero     | Secret          | 
                      | Identity        | Superpower 
        ==============|=================+================================
