 Object keys are rule names/aliases; object values are the rule's configuration.
-The value `false` disables a rule, `true` enables its default configuration,

-rule to `true` or `false` includes/excludes all rules by default. In the absence

-name (ex: `whitespace`) affects all rules having that tag.
+The value `false` disables a rule. The values `true` or `"error"` enable a rule
+in its default configuration and report violations as errors. The value
+`"warning"` enables a rule in its default configuration and reports violations
+as warnings. Passing an object enables *and* customizes the rule; the properties
+`severity` (`"error" | "warning"`) and `enabled` (`false | true`) can be used in
+this context. The special `default` rule assigns the default for all rules.
+Using a tag name (e.g., `whitespace`) and a setting of `false`, `true`,
+`"error"`, or `"warning"` applies that setting to all rules with that tag. When
+no configuration object is passed or the optional `default` setting is not
+present, all rules are enabled.

+
+Parameters:
+
+- `style`: Table column style (`string`, default `any`, values `aligned` /
+  `any` / `compact` / `tight`)
+
+This rule is triggered when the column separators of a
+[GitHub Flavored Markdown table][gfm-table-060] are used inconsistently.
+
+This rule recognizes three table column styles based on popular use:
+
+Style `aligned` looks the most like a table:
+
+```markdown
+| Character | Meaning |
+| --------- | ------- |
+| Y         | Yes     |
+| N         | No      |
+```
+
+Style `compact` uses a single space to pad cell content:
+
+```markdown
+| Character | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| Y | Yes |
+| N | No |
+```
+
+Style `tight` uses no padding for cell content:
+
+```markdown
+|Character|Meaning|
+|---|---|
+|Y|Yes|
+|N|No|
+```
+
+When this rule's `style` parameter is set to `aligned`, `compact`, or `tight`,
+every table must match the corresponding pattern and errors will be reported for
+any violations. By default, or when the `any` style is used, each table is
+analyzed to see if it satisfies any supported style. If so, no errors are
+reported. If not, errors are be reported for whichever style would produce the
+*fewest* errors (i.e., whichever style is the closest match).
+
+Note: Pipe alignment for the `aligned` style is based on character count, so
+wide characters and multi-character encodings can produce unexpected results.
+The following table is correctly aligned based on character count, though some
+editors render the emoji wider:
+
+<!-- markdownlint-capture -->
+<!-- markdownlint-disable extended-ascii -->

+| Yes      | ✅     |
