How to create tables more simpler without markdown

You could create a table data file at data/table.toml:

[table]
  [[row]]
  data = ["Animal", "Sound"]
  [[row]]
  data = ["Cat", "Meow"]
  [[row]]
  data = ["Dog", "Woof"]

Then in your template:

{{ $.Scratch.Set "count" 0 }}
<table>
{{ range $table := .Site.Data.table }}  
  {{ range $row := $table }}
    <tr>
    {{ range $datas := $row }}
      {{ range $data := $datas }}
        {{ if eq 0 ($.Scratch.Get "count") }}
        <th> 
          {{ . }}
        </th>
        {{ else }}
        <td> 
          {{ . }}
        </td>
        {{ end }}
      {{ end }}
    {{ end }}
    </tr>
    {{ $.Scratch.Add "count" 1 }}
  {{ end }}
{{ end }}
</table>

Which would output this:

Animal Sound
Cat Meow
Dog Woof
