Create a table for displaying data via chatbot

I’ve created a chatbot to interact with a basic set of channels, and hooked it to a relevant database. so now i’d like to respond to certain commands with small, simple tables. is there a way to do that? i though i could do it with markdown but apparently i’m doing something wrong.
thanks!

Do you have enabled markdown in the settings? ( General->Messages)

i dont see anything else in settings that i can set? also - i found an article/forum post that said tables were not yet available, so i’ll just keep looking!
thanks!
