Tables don't seem to be processed #1

I'm not sure what's the best way to process tables in gemtext, but I think that it could be rendering those as a monospace block.

To do this effectively, we would need a way to "inflate" the markdown tables to the shape of an "ASCII" table.

What I mean is having a function that takes

Score | Skilled|Unskilled
------|--------|----------
6 | Succ + Bonus | Succ + Bonus or Learn 
5 |  Succ | Succ
4 |  Succ |  Succ + Cost
3 |  Succ + Cost | Twist
2 |  Twist | Twist
1 |   Twist + Cost | Twist + Cost

and returns

 Score |      Skilled |             Unskilled
-------|--------------|-----------------------
     6 | Succ + Bonus | Succ + Bonus or Learn 
     5 |         Succ |                  Succ
     4 |         Succ |           Succ + Cost
     3 |  Succ + Cost |                 Twist
     2 |        Twist |                 Twist
     1 | Twist + Cost |          Twist + Cost

two issues, identify table beginning and end, format the table. Any idea if there is a short algorithm around for the formatting part?
