While it is possible to create table via raw HTML, the wiki allows a simpler style.
Tables start with a curly bracket and a vertical bar character (a pipe) "{|" and end with a pipe and curly bracket "|}".
To start a new table row, type a vertical bar and a hyphen on its own line: "|-".
Each cell in a row is on a new line which starts with just a vertical bar character.
