The table AST really wasn't designed as a public-facing API. The best way to do it at the moment is to generate AsciiDoc, then use the parse_content method to parse it into a block. You can see that being done in this extension: https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-extensions-lab/blob/master/lib/textql-block.rb

I cannot figure out how to create a table in an extension. Does anyone have any pointers for how to do this?

I want to create a block macro extension that automatically creates an Asciidoctor table in the AST, and it should work with both the html, docbook and pdf output (through Asciidoctor-pdf).

I have been able to create small text fragments and other items, but not tables.
