Table within class

How can I insert a multi-line table, e.g. a value table, inside a class?

The code below results in two tables (instead of two rows of the same table)

class A{
   Normal attribute
   | header left | header right |
   | row left | row right |
 }

According to http://plantuml.com/creole, creole should work in all diagram types.

You must put all on the same line:

@startuml
class A{
   Normal attribute
   | header left | header right |\n| row left | row right |
 }

Well, that really sucks. I also cannot make the first row normal (it's always a bolded header).

I'd rather use a fixed-width font or \t to align attribute descriptions in classes, although \t is not robust : you have to guess how many tabs to put in

I think it is by design 

For the second point, as workaround you can put an image
