559/// are padded to a fixed width (header width + a minimum padding of 2, or the
560/// widest data cell); numeric columns (every data cell parses as a number) are
561/// right-aligned, others left-aligned; separators are plain dashes of
562/// `width + 2`. Matches current published docling (DOCX/HTML conformance).
563/// - **compact** — `| a | b |` cells with single-dash `| - | - |` separators, no
564/// width padding. Matches the committed PDF groundtruth corpus, which predates
565/// the padded serializer.

568/// table. Row 0 is the header.

570/// `tabulate`'s detection: an ordinary float/int (`f64`-parseable, covering
