gfm table

I noticed while browsing a README.md that the Orion Markdown Viewer doesn't render tables (which are a "GitHub-flavored" extension to Markdown).

For example, this code is supposed to render a 2-column table

> 5. Start the app
> 
>    | *usage:*   | `$ cf start APP`                 |
>    |------------|----------------------------------|
>    | *example:* | `$ cf start myupload-<username>`                 |

But in the Markdown viewer it just renders as one long, messed-up line (see pic).

We should aim to support all the GitHub syntax. I believe the underlying marked library already has this support, Orion's viewer just needs to enable it.
