Sometimes the information in the table can be presented in some other way. For instance, you could just repeat the column headings as a list, so this:

First Name | Last Name | Nationality | Occupation
-----------+-----------+-------------+--------------
Charles    | Dickens   | British     | Writer
Roger      | Federer   | Swiss       | Tennis player
-----------+-----------+-------------+--------------

becomes this:

First Name: Charles
Last Name: Dickens
Nationality: British
Occupation: Writer

First Name: Roger
Last Name: Federer
Nationality: Swiss
Occupation: Tennis player

Not as nice as a table, maybe, but at least the information is there, readable and searchable.
