Tables
Tables let you display data in organized rows and columns.
Basic Syntax
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 |
Column Alignment
Use colons in the separator row:
| Left | Center | Right |
|:-----|:------:|------:|
| L | C | R |
| L | C | R |
:---= left align (default):---:= center align---:= right align
Formatting in Tables
You can use inline formatting inside table cells:
| Feature | Status |
|---------|--------|
| **Bold** | *Italic* |
| `code` | ~~strike~~ |
| [Link](url) | Normal |
Tips for Tables
- You don't need to align the pipes perfectly — it just looks nicer
- The minimum separator is
---(3 dashes) - Tables must have a header row and a separator row
- Each row must have the same number of columns
Minimal Syntax
This is valid too:
|Name|Age|
|-|-|
|John|25|
