-## Usage
-smartfile is an approach of being one tool to handle files in diverse environments.
-
-### Smartfile Sections
-smartfile thinks in sections:
-
-section | description
--- | ---
-fs | (object) gets data from fs to somewhere
-memory | gets data from memory to somewhere
-remote | gets data from remote locations to somewhere
-interpreter | (object) handles yaml and json
-smartfile | (class) a virtual representation of a file, alternative to vinyl file format
-
-For further information read the linked docs at the top of this README.

+## Usage
+
+smartfile is an approach of being one tool to handle files in diverse environments.
+
+### Smartfile Sections
+
+smartfile thinks in sections:
+
+| section     | description                                                                  |
+| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| fs          | (object) gets data from fs to somewhere                                      |
+| memory      | gets data from memory to somewhere                                           |
+| remote      | gets data from remote locations to somewhere                                 |
+| interpreter | (object) handles yaml and json                                               |
+| smartfile   | (class) a virtual representation of a file, alternative to vinyl file format |
