Format Markdown Table

Need to format a Markdown table? You've come to the right place.

Markdown tables have loose formatting requirements. Rows can have leading and ending pipes (|) but don't require them them. Within the same table, some rows can have those pipes while other rows omit them, and the table is still valid. Columns can be completely different widths, too.

This table from the GitHub Flavored Markdown docs, for example, is still a valid Markdown table, even though it's hard on the eyes:

| abc | defghi |
:-: | -----------:
bar | baz
