@brief Create a Markdown Table from a dataset
@details A markdown table is a simple table representation for use in
documents written in markdown format.
An online generator is available here:
https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables
This structure is also used by the Macro Core library for documenting input/
output datasets, as well as the sasjs/cli tool for documenting inputs/outputs
for web services.
We take the standard definition one step further by embedding the informat
in the table header row, like so:
|var1:$|var2:best.|var3:date9.|
|---|---|---|
|some text|42|01JAN1960|
|blah|1|31DEC1999|
Which resolves to:
|var1:$|var2:best.|var3:date9.|
|---|---|---|
|some text|42|01JAN1960|
|blah|1|31DEC1999|
Usage:
%mp_mdtablewrite(libds=sashelp.class,showlog=YES)
<h4> SAS Macros </h4>

@param [in] libds= the library / dataset to create or read from.
@param [out] fref= Fileref to contain the markdown. Default=mdtable.
@param [out] showlog= set to YES to show the markdown in the log. Default=NO.
