Currently, tables are bridged as rows of sans-serif text and columns are separated by pipe characters, so they aren't aligned with each other.

Discord doesn't support displaying tables, but it does support code blocks as a way to align text. Here are some possible renderings for tables that are small enough width:

Column 1   Column 2   Column 3
------------------------------
Apple      Banana     Cherry
Aardvark   Bee        Crocodile

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
Apple Banana Cherry
Aardvark Bee Crocodile

Discord changed how inline code got styled in their latest redesign, where each inline code element gets a border. So I have to go with the first option for it to look good now.
