Markdown & tables

[pier]

Since our nodebb supports tables, what about adding some love for them to the CSS ?

---

Markdown:

First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column

The result isn't that good:

First Header	Second Header
Content from cell 1	Content from cell 2
Content in the first column	Content in the second column

I'm using this custom CSS in my NodeBB:

table
{
  font-size: 14px;
	border-collapse:collapse;
	margin:20px 0 0;
	padding:0;
}

table tr
{
	border-top:1px solid #ccc;
	background-color:#fff;
	margin:0;
	padding:0;
}

table tr:nth-child(2n)
{
	background-color:#f8f8f8;
}
table tr th[align="center"], table tr td[align="center"] {
	text-align:center;
}
table tr th, table tr td
{
	border:1px solid #ccc;
	text-align:left;
	margin:0;
	padding:6px 13px;
}

And the result is quite better:

I very much like this as a optional setting. The reason I say it should be optional is because some people might want to add images in tables and add text in a cell besides that to make it look somewhat blending.

Adding the classes table table-bordered table-striped to the table tag would work. And would have the advantage of matching whatever theme being used.

This topic totally went under the radar (next time file issues on GH )

Updated the markdown plugin as per @yariplus' suggestion and they look good now (see @pier's OP).

Necroing this because this is the first thread on Google when searching for NodeBB table markdown syntax.
