I just found a post using showing a rendered table, in Codidact Meta. Looking at the post content, it is using markdown.

Playing a bit, I found that the following "plain text"
```none
| | | |
-|-|-  
PERSON 1 | PERSON 2 | YES|
PERSON 1 | PERSON 3 | YES|
PERSON 2 | PERSON 1 | YES|
PERSON 2 | PERSON 3 | YES|
PERSON 3 | PERSON 1 | NO|
PERSON 3 | PERSON 2 | NO|
```

is rendered as follows:

| | | |
-|-|-  
PERSON 1 | PERSON 2 | YES|
PERSON 1 | PERSON 3 | YES|
PERSON 2 | PERSON 1 | YES|
PERSON 2 | PERSON 3 | YES|
PERSON 3 | PERSON 1 | NO|
PERSON 3 | PERSON 2 | NO|
