Overview
The Table Data micro allows dynamic addition or deletion of rows in a table.
Any standard data macros (other than the Table Data macro itself) can be used inside its cells.

[default]/name | Yes | No | The name of the table. The name must be unique. | |
initialRows | Optional | No | The number of rows to have in the section initially Saves a user from having to hit "+" repeatedly. | |
order | Optional | No | ascending | Sort order for content

Notes
Due to the simplistic parser currently being used, you must be careful with how you format the table.
The main requirement is that any '|' characters that mark a table boundary must have whitespace on either side.
conversely, any other '|' characters must not have any whitespace around them.
For example, in the markup below, there are the following errors:
The Number column has no whitespace around the '|' markers.
The date column does have whitespace inside the macro.
{table-data: My Table}
|| Text||\Number ||Date||
| {text-data:Text}|{number-data:Number}0{number-data}|{date-data:Date| format=dd-MMM-yyyy} |
{table-data}The correct formatting option is:
{table-data:My Table}
|| Text || Number || Date ||
| {text-data:Text} | {number-data:Number}0{number-data} | {date-data:Date|format=dd-MMM-yyyy} |
{table-data}
