Support for Atlassian-style tables

[tiborbaksa]

Summary

Atlassian products, such as JIRA have their own plain text format that also supports tables. It is similar to markdown tables but it uses a different notation for heading columns.

It is possible to tweak the settings and generate a table in this format, but additional settings are needed for a header row or column.
