Tables in posts

Can we have the ability to create tables? Right now, according to this answer tables are not on the list of things allowed in posts, which is a shame because I can see many uses for them, such as the many, many, many questions about spreadsheets over on Software[1]

I'd also use them to create conjugation tables on questions such as this one on Languages.

A way to use Markdown for tables would be great, such as in GitHub flavored Markdown, but I'd be fine with just writing html tables.


  1. Which really need that formatting... ↩︎

You can now use tables in HTML or Markdown.


See an example with Markdown:

| Latin  	| English 	| Spanish 	| Catalan 	|
|--------	|---------	|---------	|---------	|
| filum  	| thread  	| hilo    	| fil     	|
| filius 	| son     	| hijo    	| fill    	|
| furnus 	| oven    	| horno   	| forn    	|

That renders like this:

Latin English Spanish Catalan
filum thread hilo fil
filius son hijo fill
furnus oven horno forn
