Examples

Markdown Table Generator examples

3 worked examples

01

Simple CSV pasted in

Pasting "name,age" then "Ada,30" then "Alan,28" with "First row is the header" on produces a table whose header row is | name | age |, separated by a | --- | --- | line, followed by the Ada and Alan rows.

02

Center-aligned columns

The same data with Alignment set to Center changes the separator row to | :---: | :---: |, which renders every column centered wherever the table is viewed.

03

Tab-separated data from a spreadsheet

Rows copied straight out of a spreadsheet (tab-separated) — Month, Visitors and Signups for July to September — are recognised automatically and become a 3-column table with 3 rows.
