Paul Holzinger 80b613d237 Fix markdown tables on docs.podman.io
Sphinx with recommonmark cannot render markdown tables at all.
There is a python package called `sphinx-markdown-tables` which
adds the markdown table support to recommonmark.
https://pypi.org/project/sphinx-markdown-tables/

By utilising this package we don't have to change our doc format.

API Reference

The latest online documentation is automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream source code. Firstly, the Cirrus-CI docs task builds pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket - an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation site. This site includes for the API section, some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google Storage Bucket.

Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:

If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting style attacks. Please notify a maintainer so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.
