How do I output lists as a table in Jupyter notebook?

Question

I know that I\'ve seen some example somewhere before but for the life of me I cannot find it when googling around.

I have some rows of data:

data = [[1,2         


        

Answer 1

I just discovered that tabulate has a HTML option and is rather simple to use.
Quite similar to Wayne Werner's answer:

from IPython.display import HTML, display
import tabulate
table = [["Sun",696000,1989100000],
         ["Earth",6371,5973.6],
         ["Moon",1737,73.5],
         ["Mars",3390,641.85]]
display(HTML(tabulate.tabulate(table, tablefmt='html')))

Still looking for something simple to use to create more complex table layouts like with latex syntax and formatting to merge cells and do variable substitution in a notebook:
