wiki-tables extra

The wiki-tables extra provides support for Google Code wiki-style tables. For example, this text:

|| *Year* || *Temperature (low)* || *Temperature (high)* || || 1900 || -10 || 25 || || 1910 || -15 || 30 || || 1920 || -10 || 32 || 

Becomes this:

<table> <tbody> <tr><td><em>Year</em></td><td><em>Temperature (low)</em></td><td><em>Temperature (high)</em></td></tr> <tr><td>1900</td><td>-10</td><td>25</td></tr> <tr><td>1910</td><td>-15</td><td>30</td></tr> <tr><td>1920</td><td>-10</td><td>32</td></tr> </tbody> </table> 

command-line usage

$ python markdown2.py -x wiki-tables FOO.txt 

module usage

>>> markdown2.markdown(text, extras=["wiki-tables"]) 

Discussion

This was implemented in issue 66. See a (short) discussion of alternative Markdown table syntaxes (including those from Python-Markdown and PHP Markdown).
