   Format: MarkdownItexI have started creating a _[[table of branes]] and their worldvolume theories_ .

   I have started creating a table of branes and their worldvolume theories . So far it looks as follows

   brane	in supergravity	has worldvolume theory
   D0-brane	type IIA supergravity	BFSS matrix model
   D1-brane	type IIB supergravity	2d CFT with BH entropy
   D3-brane	type IIB supergravity	super Yang-Mills theory
   D4-brane	type IIA supergravity	Khovanov homology observables
   D5-brane	type IIB supergravity	…
   NS5-brane	type IIB supergravity	little string theory
   M2-brane	11-dimensional supergravity	ABJM theory
   M5-brane	11-dimensional supergravity	6d (2,0)-superconformal QFT

   I have created all the missing entries to complete this and have included the table in all relevant entries.
