Markdown doesn't have tables tho. No cross-refs, either.

  I haven't found a markdown implementation that doesn't support basic table formatting: https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#tables https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheats... It doesn't do native nested tables, or that sort of thing, but for that I'd either drop to HTML or use Pandoc to embed something else inside Markdown. Tables are not fun to format in _any_ plain text language.

    1. Tables are not in the spec. 2. StackExchange Markdown is a prominent example of no-tables.

  Use Markdown until it no longer meets your needs, then switch to something more complex. Markdown will likely handle 90% of most people’s needs. Any system that asks you to edit tables in a text editor is asking for trouble. That is a good time to look at a structured editor.

    The thing is, in documentation, tables occasionally come up. And even a table of contents is a table...
