<p>Read or write a fixed width table with a single header line that defines column
names and positions. Examples:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre># Bar delimiter in header and data
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
| 1.2 | hello there | 3 |
| 2.4 | many words | 7 |
# Bar delimiter in header only
Col1 | Col2 | Col3
1.2 hello there 3
2.4 many words 7
# No delimiter with column positions specified as input
Col1 Col2Col3
1.2hello there 3
2.4many words 7 </pre>
