+=====
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.5
+    The ``Table`` class was introduced in Symfony 2.5 as a replacement for the
+    :doc:`Table Helper </components/console/helpers/tablehelper>`.
+
+When building a console application it may be useful to display tabular data:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+    | ISBN          | Title                    | Author           |
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+    | 99921-58-10-7 | Divine Comedy            | Dante Alighieri  |
+    | 9971-5-0210-0 | A Tale of Two Cities     | Charles Dickens  |
+    | 960-425-059-0 | The Lord of the Rings    | J. R. R. Tolkien |
+    | 80-902734-1-6 | And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie  |
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+
+To display a table, use :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\Table`,
+set the headers, set the rows and then render the table::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Helper\Table;
+
+    $table = new Table($output);
+    $table
+        ->setHeaders(array('ISBN', 'Title', 'Author'))
+        ->setRows(array(
+            array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'),
+            array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'),
+            array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'),
+            array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'),
+        ))
+    ;
+    $table->render();
+
+You can add a table separator anywhere in the output by passing an instance of
+:class:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableSeparator` as a row::
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Helper\TableSeparator;
+
+    $table->setRows(array(
+        array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'),
+        array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'),
+        new TableSeparator(),
+        array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'),
+        array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'),
+    ));
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+    | ISBN          | Title                    | Author           |
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+    | 99921-58-10-7 | Divine Comedy            | Dante Alighieri  |
+    | 9971-5-0210-0 | A Tale of Two Cities     | Charles Dickens  |
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+    | 960-425-059-0 | The Lord of the Rings    | J. R. R. Tolkien |
+    | 80-902734-1-6 | And Then There Were None | Agatha Christie  |
+    +---------------+--------------------------+------------------+
+
+The table style can be changed to any built-in styles via
+:method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\Table::setStyle`::
+
+    // same as calling nothing
+    $table->setStyle('default');
+
+    // changes the default style to compact
+    $table->setStyle('compact');
+    $table->render();
+
+This code results in:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+     ISBN          Title                    Author
+     99921-58-10-7 Divine Comedy            Dante Alighieri
+     9971-5-0210-0 A Tale of Two Cities     Charles Dickens
+     960-425-059-0 The Lord of the Rings    J. R. R. Tolkien
+     80-902734-1-6 And Then There Were None Agatha Christie
+
+You can also set the style to ``borderless``::
+
+    $table->setStyle('borderless');
+    $table->render();
+
+which outputs:
+
+.. code-block:: text
+
+     =============== ========================== ==================
+      ISBN            Title                      Author
+     =============== ========================== ==================
+      99921-58-10-7   Divine Comedy              Dante Alighieri

+      960-425-059-0   The Lord of the Rings      J. R. R. Tolkien
+      80-902734-1-6   And Then There Were None   Agatha Christie
+     =============== ========================== ==================
+
+If the built-in styles do not fit your need, define your own::
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+    use Symfony\Component\Helper\TableStyle;
+
+    // by default, this is based on the default style
+    $style = new TableStyle();
+
+    // customize the style
+    $style
+        ->setHorizontalBorderChar('<fg=magenta>|</>')
+        ->setVerticalBorderChar('<fg=magenta>-</>')
+        ->setCrossingChar(' ')
+    ;
+
+    // use the style for this table
+    $table->setStyle($style);
+
+Here is a full list of things you can customize:
+
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setPaddingChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setHorizontalBorderChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setVerticalBorderChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setCrossingChar`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setCellHeaderFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setCellRowFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setBorderFormat`
+*  :method:`Symfony\\Component\\Console\\Helper\\TableStyle::setPadType`
+
+.. tip::
+
+    You can also register a style globally::
+
+        // register the style under the colorful name
+        Table::setStyleDefinition('colorful', $style);
+
+        // use it for a table
+        $table->setStyle('colorful');
+
+    This method can also be used to override a built-in style.
