要获得更漂亮的表格，如下所示：
---------------------------------------------------
| First Name | Last Name | Age | Position |
---------------------------------------------------
| John | Smith | 24 | Software |
| | | | Engineer |
---------------------------------------------------
| Mary | Brohowski | 23 | Sales |
| | | | Manager |
---------------------------------------------------
| Aristidis | Papageorgopoulos | 28 | Senior |
| | | | Reseacher |
