p.render(args, config)
Renders a table using a modular, block-based approach.
Parameters:
args - Table of template parameters (passed to each block function).
config - Table containing configuration options:
tableClass: (string) CSS class for the table.
Default: "template-table"
tableAttrs: (string) Additional attributes for the table tag.
Default: 'cellpadding="2"'
blocks: (array) An ordered list of functions (blocks) that generate table rows.
Each block function should accept (args, config) and return a string.
Returns:
A string containing the full wikitext markup for the table.
