+## simple_table_parse
+```python
+simple_table_parse(data)
+```
+
+Parse simple tables. The last column may contain data with spaces
+
+code adapted from Conor Heine at:
+https://gist.github.com/cahna/43a1a3ff4d075bcd71f9d7120037a501
+
+Parameters:
+
+    data:   (list)   Text data to parse that has been split into lines
+                     via .splitlines(). Item 0 must be the header row.
+                     Any spaces in header names should be changed to
+                     underscore '_'. You should also ensure headers are
+                     lowercase by using .lower().
+
+                     Also, ensure there are no blank lines (list items)
+                     in the data.
+
+Returns:
+
+    List of Dictionaries

+## sparse_table_parse
+```python
+sparse_table_parse(data, delim='\u2063')
+```
+
+Parse tables with missing column data or with spaces in column data.
+
+Parameters:
+
+    data:   (list)   Text data to parse that has been split into lines
+                     via .splitlines(). Item 0 must be the header row.
+                     Any spaces in header names should be changed to
+                     underscore '_'. You should also ensure headers are
+                     lowercase by using .lower(). Do not change the
+                     position of header names as the positions are used
+                     to find the data.
+
+                     Also, ensure there are no blank lines (list items)
+                     in the data.
+
+    delim:  (string) Delimiter to use. By default `u\2063`
+                     (invisible separator) is used since it is unlikely
+                     to ever be seen in terminal output. You can change
+                     this for troubleshooting purposes or if there is a
+                     delimiter conflict with your data.
+
+Returns:
+
+    List of Dictionaries
