Converts your typical markdown table to a json code-fenced block that GitLab can render. By default, it sets every setting and provides every field. These can be cleaned up/changed/removed after conversion.

json GitLab tables are easier to edit. It's easier with json tables to keep under the pesky line length rule in common markdown linters, which is almost impossible with a markdown table of any appreciable size. With json tables, GitLab will render the tables with sortable columns, and even filters, if enabled! None of those features are built in to the regular markdown tables.
One current downside is that you can't render markdown in the fields with a json GitLab table.
