Parse a simple table using parse().
Here's an example of a simple table:
===== ===== col 1 col 2 ===== ===== 1 Second column of row 1. 2 Second column of row 2. Second line of paragraph. 3 - Second column of row 3. - Second item in bullet list (row 3, column 2). 4 is a span ------------ 5 ===== =====
Top and bottom borders use '=', column span underlines use '-', column separation is indicated with spaces.
Passing the above table to the parse() method will result in the following data structure, whose interpretation is the same as for GridTableParser:
([5, 25], [[(0, 0, 1, ['col 1']), (0, 0, 1, ['col 2'])]], [[(0, 0, 3, ['1']), (0, 0, 3, ['Second column of row 1.'])], [(0, 0, 4, ['2']), (0, 0, 4, ['Second column of row 2.', 'Second line of paragraph.'])], [(0, 0, 6, ['3']), (0, 0, 6, ['- Second column of row 3.', '', '- Second item in bullet', ' list (row 3, column 2).'])], [(0, 1, 10, ['4 is a span'])], [(0, 0, 12, ['5']), (0, 0, 12, [''])]])
There are no implemented interfaces.

check_columns(lines, first_line, columns)
Check for text in column margins and text overflow in the last column. Raise TableMarkupError if anything but whitespace is in column margins. Adjust the end value for the last column if there is text overflow.
find_head_body_sep()
Look for a head/body row separator line; store the line index.
init_row(colspec, offset)
parse(block)
Analyze the text block and return a table data structure.
Given a plaintext-graphic table in block (list of lines of text; no whitespace padding), parse the table, construct and return the data necessary to construct a CALS table or equivalent.
Raise TableMarkupError if there is any problem with the markup.
parse_columns(line, offset)
Given a column span underline, return a list of (begin, end) pairs.
parse_row(lines, start, spanline=None)
Given the text lines of a row, parse it and append to self.table.
The row is parsed according to the current column spec (either spanline if provided or self.columns). For each column, extract text from each line, and check for text in column margins. Finally, adjust for insigificant whitespace.
parse_table()
First determine the column boundaries from the top border, then process rows. Each row may consist of multiple lines; accumulate lines until a row is complete. Call self.parse_row to finish the job.
