Table

Simple table can be built by separating each field with the pipe character (|). AnTreNotes and Desktop TreNotes automatically provides basic table borders for all tables. All table column is left aligned by default. To specify left align, put : on the left of the column separator (-). To centre align, put : on both end of the separtor. To right align, put : on the end of the separtor

|Size|Height (cm)|Weight (kg)|
|:---|:---:|---:|
|1|145-165|45-60|
|2|145-170|50-70|
|3|150-175|55-75|
