Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown table syntax? ▼
Markdown tables use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create the header separator. Example: | Name | Age | followed by | --- | --- | creates a two-column table. The separator row is required between the header and data rows.
How do I set column alignment in Markdown? ▼
Add colons to the separator row: :--- for left-aligned (default), :---: for centred, ---: for right-aligned. For example, | :--- | :---: | ---: | creates left, centre, and right-aligned columns respectively.
Does GitHub support Markdown tables? ▼
Yes. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) fully supports tables in README files, issues, pull requests, and wiki pages. The syntax is identical to standard Markdown tables and renders beautifully in the GitHub web interface.
Can I create multi-line cells in Markdown tables? ▼
Standard Markdown does not support multi-line cells. Each table row must be on a single line. For complex tables with multi-line content, consider using HTML tables within your Markdown, which most renderers support.
What are the limitations of Markdown tables? ▼
Markdown tables cannot have: merged cells (colspan/rowspan), multi-line cells, nested tables, or styling. For complex layouts, use HTML tables instead. Markdown tables are best for simple, tabular data presentation.
