table
Aliases:
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.

)#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.
