Creole only supports very basic table syntax, with no alignment. It is meant to create simple table like phone lists or top 10 lists. It only contains a notion for creating headings and forced line breaks.

Since Creole 0.3

Simple table

|Cell 1.1       |Cell 1.2
|Cell 2.1       |Cell 2.2

Table rows ending with | are optional.

|Cell 1.1 | Cell 1.2 |
|Cell 2.1 | Cell 2.2 |

Since Creole 0.5

Table with heading

|=Heading Col 1 |=Heading Col 2
|Cell 1.1       |Cell 1.2
|Cell 2.1       |Cell 2.2

Table with forced line break using the \\ syntax

|=Heading Col 1                        |= Heading Col 2
|Cell 1.1 line one \\ Cell 1.1 line two | Cell 1.2
