Markdown Table Support

[douglance]

It'd be great to be able to parse markdown format tables using jc.

Hi @douglance!

jc version 1.18.6 includes the new asciitable parser, which can parse GitHub-style markdown tables:

$ echo '
> | Date         | Title                               | Production Budget | Box Office     |
> |--------------|-------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------|
> | Dec 20, 2019 | Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker    | $275,000,000      | $375,126,118   |
> | May 25, 2018 | Solo: A Star Wars Story             | $275,000,000      | $393,151,347   |
> | Dec 15, 2017 | Star Wars Ep. VIII: The Last Jedi   | $262,000,000      | $1,332,539,889 |
> | May 19, 1999 | Star Wars Ep. I: The phantom Menace | $115,000,000      | $1,027,044,677 |
> ' | jc --asciitable -p

  },
  {

    "title": "Star Wars Ep. I: The phantom Menace",
    "production_budget": "$115,000,000",

  }
]

Is there another markdown style you would like to see supported?

Oh snap! I didn't realize that was supported. That would fulfill my use case. Thanks!
