Rudimentary table support

romanofski commented 8 years ago

Please don't merge this patch yet since I do have a few questions:

I couldn't figure out how to apply a certain styling for the table header. I've commented out the code and added a TODO. Any ideas?
I've checked the mistune docs in regards to different supported layouts but haven't tested them yet. Not sure how much we'd like to support.
Couldn't make links to appear in the table cells, since the lpod-python API seems to not support it. If there are any pointers in case you've tried it, please let me know. At this point the implementation does all what I need. Let me know what you think.

Commit message: Add basic support for tables. The conversion discards any styling information given by markdown. It renders the table with a fixed style. This fix is related to #26

Ceaveats:

one table per slide
no header styling
no support for links in table cells

Dear @thorstenb thank you very much. My last point I had raised (couldn't make links to appear) is solved by my last commit. It comes at a cost of loosing any information for values and value types as you might need for spread sheets. I thought for a presentation that use case doesn't really exist.

I'm still not sure about the styling for the table. I was hoping I could define that in a master of the presentation, but my PowerPoint/OpenOffice skillz are limited in that matter.

Looking forward to your feedback.
