[IPython-User] Ipython and Pandas - print tables in html style

[Michael Hadmack]

On a similar note, are there any plans for IPython to support Markdown
tables?  Tables are not strict Markdown but are frequently
implemented, see:
http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2008/08/tables-for-markdown-and-textmate/

For example:

| Left align | Right align | Center align |
|:-----------|------------:|:------------:|
| This       |        This |     This     |
| column     |      column |    column    |
| will       |        will |     will     |
| be         |          be |      be      |
| left       |       right |    center    |
| aligned    |     aligned |   aligned    |

This would be a very useful notebook feature since HTML tables are
very cumbersome to type.  And a conversion mechanism from numpy
matrices to tables would be great too.  Seems that pandas has
something like this? But I don't use it, only straight numpy.
