static_table!([["a", "b"], ["c", "d"]]);

You can repeat an argument just like you’d do with general array of vec! macro.

static_table!([["123456789"; 2]; 5]);

Optionally you can set a column span, using the following syntax.

static_table!([[{"a"; 2}], ["c", "d"]]);

Optionally you can set a row span, using the following syntax.

static_table!([[{"a"}, "b"], [{ }, "d"]]);

Optionally you can add settings to the table, using the following syntax.

static_table!([["a", "b"], ["c", "d"]], THEME = "ROUNDED");
