Fenced code blocks are like Stardard Markdown’s regular code

a start and end fence lines to delimit the code block.
```

#### Tables

Content Cell | Content Cell  | Content Cell

If you wish, you can add a leading and tailing pipe to each line of the table:

| Content Cell | Content Cell  | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell  | Content Cell |

Specify alignement for each column by adding colons to separator lines:

Left         | Center        | Right
Left         | Center        | Right
