Recognition of Table could be more liberal. #235

I was having trouble rendering a table. A table like this:

| key | value

| first | 0

Was rendered raw until I specified it as this:

key value
first 0

Many markdown rendering engines are more liberal in what they accept as a valid table. For example the renderer used by the fossil source code manager https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki (which is the system developed by and used by the SQLite DB community.)

This markdown-viewer would be easier to use, less confusing to those who are getting away with less conservatively formatted tables in markdown if the following two enhancements were made:

  1. Do not require a closing vertical bar.
  2. Do not require the horizontal line at the top to contain vertical bars.

I've just requested this enhancement to another markdown viewer I tried that has the same problem.
