+/*
+ * Styles for user-provided tables.
+ *
+ * borderless:
+ *      No borders, vertical margins, styled caption.
+ *      This style is provided for use with existing doc comments.
+ *      In general, borderless tables should not be used for layout purposes.
+ *
+ * plain:
+ *      Plain borders around table and cells, vertical margins, styled caption.
+ *      Best for small tables or for complex tables for tables with cells that span
+ *      rows and columns, when the "striped" style does not work well.
+ *
+ * striped:
+ *      Borders around the table and vertical borders between cells, striped rows,
+ *      vertical margins, styled caption.
+ *      Best for tables that have a header row, and a body containing a series of simple rows.
