+Table Helper
+============
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.3
+    The ``table`` helper was added in Symfony 2.3.
+
+When building a console application it may be useful to display tabular data:
+
+.. image:: /images/components/console/table.png
+
+To display table, use the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper`,
+set headers, rows and render::
+
+    $table = $app->getHelperSet()->get('table');
+    $table
+        ->setHeaders(array('ISBN', 'Title', 'Author'))
+        ->setRows(array(
+            array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'),
+            array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'),
+            array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'),
+            array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'),
+        ))
+    ;
+    $table->render($output);
+
+Table layout can be customized as well. There are two ways to customize table rendering:
+using named layouts or by customizing rendering options.
+
+Customize Table Layout using Named Layouts
+------------------------------------------
+
+Table helper is shipped with two preconfigured table layouts:
+
+* ``TableHelper::LAYOUT_DEFAULT``
+
+* ``TableHelper::LAYOUT_BORDERLESS``
+
+Layout can be set using :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setLayout` method.
+
+Customize Table Layout using Rendering Options
+----------------------------------------------
+
+You can control table rendering by setting custom rendering option values:
+
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setPaddingChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setHorizontalBorderChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setVerticalBorderChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setVrossingChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setVellHeaderFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setVellRowFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setBorderFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableHelper::setPadType`
