• First line should start with %% column widths are defined by following it with %<width>. So %% %1 %2 %9 will create columns with a width of 1, 2 and 9.
• By default the table class is instruction. %% %1 %2 %9 table will replaces it with table class.
• The second line | --- | --- | is ignored.
• adds this line to the previous row definition as a new block.
• extra_row_class adds an extra class to the row definition.
