You first need to decide on a syntax: 
how many cols in the table and what do they 
mean.

A Confluence plugin does that. You may want to check it out for inspiration and 
nice examples:

Dot is a really simple language, so translating to it should be easy. Eg
  | state1 | state2 | transition |
becomes
  state1 -> state2 [label="transition"]
