API
import { table, tableKeys } from "@thi.ng/markdown-table";
table(
  ["ID", "Actor", "Comment"],
  [
    [1, "Alice"],
    [201, "Bob", "(foe)"],
    [3003, "Charlie", null],
    [44, "Dora", "(recipient)"],
  ],
  { align: ["r", "c", "l"] }
);
// | **ID** | **Actor** | **Comment** |
// |-------:|:---------:|:------------|
// |      1 |   Alice   |             |
// |    201 |    Bob    | (foe)       |
// |   3003 |  Charlie  |             |
// |     44 |   Dora    | (recipient) |
// ...alternatively, this produces the same:
tableKeys(
    // column headers
    ["ID", "Actor", "Comment"],
    // lookup keys
    ["id", "name", "hint"],
    // rows as objects
    [
        { id: 1, name: "Alice" },
        { id: 201, name: "Bob", hint: "(foe)" },
        { id: 3003, name: "Charlie" },
        { id: 44, name: "Dora", hint: "(recipient)" },
    ],
    // table options
    { bold: true, align: ["r", "c", "l"] }
)Result as Markdown:
| ID | Actor | Comment | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alice | |
| 201 | Bob | (foe) | 
| 3003 | Charlie | |
| 44 | Dora | (recipient) |
