Thanks, original code is very synoptical and and well prepared for adding
new formats.

I know, i dnot`t know, if \x make sense in this case. I will look, how it
is done in other formats like html. I think, that it should work in sense,
that table generated to rst should give similar output after processing
like output of html format.

Similar to \x, im not certain, what it should return. I will look, what
returns html format. Or i can use it in markdown for nice vs expanded
format.

OK, it shouldn`t be problem alter this.

It is because markdown needs empty line after table, if is row count
presented.

I use format that was similar to aligned format and ascii linestyle,
because it allows me to use existing features. I should look over more
table styles in markdown.

This can be problem because of aligning, i will look on this, this same
problem as replace newline with </br> for markdown.
