bbcode for a table in the mod pack's description

[meritoc]

I'm trying to work out how to include a table in my mod pack's description.  Is this possible?
 
Through trial and error I found that you can include a list by using this syntax:

    [*]item 1[/*]
    [*]item 2[/*]
  

 
The WYSIWYG part of the editor will not render this correctly (it will include the trailing

[/*]

on each item) but the generated HTML will work.
