how to lay out tables

you can have tables in your book, simple ones.

to signify a table, you use the " | " or-bar tag.

then use multiple-spaces to separate the cells. there must be at least 3 spaces between cells.

table 1	column 1	column 2
plain-text	yes	yes
x.m.l.	no	yes
.html	yes	no
.rtf	no	yes
.pdf	no	no

***

as per usual, you can just use the tag on the first line, skipping it on the subsequent lines, but you must start those subsequent lines with at least 3 spaces.

table 1	column 1	column 2
plain-text	yes	yes
x.m.l.	no	yes
.html	yes	no
.rtf	no	yes
.pdf	no	no

***

you can also use or-bars to separate the cells.

table 1	column 1	column 2
plain-text	yes	yes
x.m.l.	no	yes
.html	yes	no
.rtf	no	yes
.pdf	no	no

***

you can even mix up these two approaches.

table 1	column 1	column 2
plain-text	yes	yes
x.m.l.	no	yes
.html	yes	no
.rtf	no	yes
.pdf	no	no
