I lack the possibility to get a *column* of `<th>` cells (respectively how
other output formats mark header cells) in a table; it's of course usually
the leftmost column which needs to be so treated, but the proposed syntax
will allow any column(s) to be designated as header column(s).
The suggested syntax is to substitute equals for dashes in the 'column
format' row of dashes. Given the input (silly example)
Family Kid 1 Kid 2 Kid 3 Status
======= ------ ------ ------ =======
Duck Huey Dewey Louie Old
Simpson Bart Lisa Maggie New
Griffin Chris Meg Stewie Ripoff
This will make the cells of the leftmost and rightmost columns be output as
header cells. A more typical use would be with only the leftmost column as
a header column and the top left cell empty:
Kid 1 Kid 2 Kid 3
======= ------ ------ ------
Duck Huey Dewey Louie
Simpson Bart Lisa Maggie
Griffin Chris Meg Stewie
Table: Cartoon families with three kids
Of course it should work just as well with the new syntax with no header *row*:
======= ------ ------ ------
Duck Huey Dewey Louie
Simpson Bart Lisa Maggie
Griffin Chris Meg Stewie
======= ------ ------ ------
