Tables can be coded with the pipe symbol (|) in JAST. In the table you can use the markup
for bold text and program code. The program code can't contain any line breaks.

You can't use tables in itemization environments and in tables itemizations aren't allowed, too. |
Example 2. Table with two columns
The following source code will be converted to a table of the type longtable in LaTeX.
|Column1|Column2|
|Value1 |Value2 |
Table as LaTeX code:
\begin{longtable}{|l|l|}
\hline
Column1 & Column2\\\hline
\hline
\endhead
Value1 & Value2\\\hline
\end{longtable}
By default the value of a column will be left aligned. You can change the alignment if you set the alignment
explicitly. The alignment is valid until in another row a new alignment will be chosen. The string ---
leads to left aligned text, :---: to centered text and ---: to right
aligned text.
Example 3. Alignment of columns in tables
The following source code aligns the columns. In the first column the values Column 1 and
1 will be left aligned and 4 will be centered. In the second column
the values Column 2 and 2 will be centered and the value 5
will be right aligned. In the third column the values Column 3 and 3 will
be right aligned and 6 will be left aligned.
|--- |:---: |---: |
|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
|1 |2 |3 |
|:---: |---: |--- |
|4 |5 |6 |
Table as LaTeX code:
\begin{longtable}{|l|c|r|}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|l|}{Column 1} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Column 2} &
\multicolumn{1}{|r|}{Column 3}\\\hline
\hline
\endhead
\multicolumn{1}{|l|}{1} & \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{2} &
\multicolumn{1}{|r|}{3}\\\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{4} & \multicolumn{1}{|r|}{5} &
\multicolumn{1}{|l|}{6}\\\hline
\end{longtable}
