Render a given instance of collections.Counter into a 2 column html table.

Optionally accepts column_title keyword argument which sets the table key column header.

Usage:

{% counter_table event_counter column_title='event type' %}

The above will render the a table from the event_counter variable with the first (key) column set to "event type".

See below for an example template (i.e counter_table.html)

{% load i18n %}

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>{{column_title|capfirst}}</th>
            <th>{% trans "count"|capfirst %}</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        {% for key, count in most_common %}
        <tr>
            <td>{{key}}</td>
            <td>{{count}}</td>
        </tr>
        {% endfor %}
    </tbody>
    <tfoot>
        <tr>
            <td>{% trans "total"|capfirst %}</td>
            <td>{{total_count}}</td>
        </tr>
    </tfoot>
</table>
