table
A table. The body is pipe-delimited rows with inline Chalk in the cells, or nothing at all when data: binds a dataset instead. Header and footer rows and columns are switchable, and rows, columns or single cells can be highlighted.

table:#survey. The same rows can then feed a table, a mark and a code environment without being typed once per consumer.Can be written as shorthand:
table:valuecolumnsWhich columns of
data: to show, and in what order — plain column names, not references, so no #. Omit for every column in the dataset's own order.header-rowHas header row. With
data:, the dataset's column names are that row.Also written:

)#Notes
highlight-rowsandhighlight-columnsare 1-based and count every row and column drawn, the header among them — so withheader-rowon, the first row of data is row 2.- Every row needs the same number of delimiters as the header: rows are split on the delimiter and nothing is padded, so a row missing one renders short and its cells sit under the wrong headings. A cell with no value keeps its delimiters — write a placeholder in it rather than leaving the line to end early.
