H1: Creating Heading, Footing and Group Rows

H2: Overview

The {{FILT:table}} filter now supports the following attributes:

* {{headings}} - the number of heading rows at the top of the table
* {{footings}} - the number of footing rows at the end of the table
* {{groups}} - look for group rows in the table.

H2: Heading Rows

If the {{headings}} attribute is not defined, then
the column headings are generated using the column names given on
the {{parsing}} line. For example, the column headings in the table
below will be {{Name}} and {{Age}}:

!block example
!block table
Name    Age
Bill    42
!endblock
!endblock

Alternatively, if the {{headings}} attribute is defined,
then that number of {{data}} rows are used as the column headings,
i.e. the parsing line is not used to build the column headings.
For example, the column headings in the table below will be
{{"Title"}} and {{Age}} (remembering that a filter attribute is
implicitly given the value 1 is no value is supplied).

!block example
!block table; headings
A       B
"Title" Age
Bill    42
Sally   23
!endblock
!endblock

Likewise, the column headings below will be {{Preferred Title}} and
{{Likely Age}} with each heading taking 2 rows.

!block example
!block table; headings=2
A           B
Preferred   Likely
Title       Age
Bill        42
Sally       23
!endblock
!endblock

H2: Footing Rows

These work exactly the same as table headings, except that no footings
are generated by default.

H2: Group Rows

If the {{groups}} parameter is specified, SDF assumes that rows
that end in : are group rows. For example:

!block example
!block table; groups
Fruit      Comments
Tropical:
mango      a fruit-bat favorite
banana     great for smoothies
Other:
Tomato     often matched with basil
!endblock
!endblock

The result is:

!block table; groups
Fruit      Comments
Tropical:
mango      a fruit-bat favorite
banana     great for smoothies
Other:
Tomato     often matched with basil
!endblock
