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 
    ==============|=================+================================
    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
