• You always need a header row

• Cells are separated by a pipe (|) symbol

• You can include leading and trailing pipes but don't have to

• A header row has to be followed by a separator row with the same amount of cells

  (that's the |---|---| line)

• The amount of space and - characters in a cell don't have to line up (but it sure looks nice if it does)

• You can set the alignment of a table column by including a : in the corresponding cell of the separator line. A : on the left will make a column left-aligned (this is the default). A : on the right will make it right-aligned. Both, left and right :s will produce a center-aligned column.

What happens to posts with tables that are migrated to a site that doesn't support them?

For now, the post will have to be edited to fix the layout on the new site, though we expect this to be exceedingly rare (if it even ever occurs) during the rollout.
