About Markdown Tables

Markdown tables are a simple way to display tabular data in plain text documents. They are widely supported by GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Notion, Obsidian, Jekyll, Hugo, and most Markdown processors. The syntax uses pipe characters (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create the header separator.

Markdown Table Syntax

A basic Markdown table consists of a header row, a separator row, and one or more data rows. Column alignment is controlled with colons in the separator row:

| Left     | Center   | Right    |
| :------- | :------: | -------: |
| data     | data     | data     |
| more     | more     | more     |

When to Use Markdown Tables

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Markdown table syntax? ▼
Markdown tables use pipes (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create the header separator row. The first row is the header, followed by a separator row of dashes, then data rows. Column alignment is set with colons: :--- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right.
Can I import CSV data? ▼
Yes, click the "Import CSV" button to reveal the CSV input area. Paste your comma-separated data and click "Apply CSV." The tool will parse the data and populate the table editor with the correct rows and columns. The first row of CSV data becomes the header.
How do I change column alignment? ▼
Each column header has L (left), C (center), and R (right) alignment buttons. Click the desired alignment for each column. The Markdown separator row will automatically use the correct colon syntax (:---, :---:, or ---:) for the selected alignment.
Where do Markdown tables work? ▼
Markdown tables are supported by GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Obsidian, Typora, VS Code preview, Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, and most Markdown processors. They work in README files, documentation, wiki pages, pull request descriptions, and issue comments.
Is there a limit on table size? ▼
There is no hard limit in this tool, but very large tables (50+ rows or 10+ columns) may become unwieldy in Markdown format. For large datasets, consider using CSV files or HTML tables instead. Most Markdown renderers handle tables of reasonable size without issues.
Is this tool free? ▼
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Use it as much as you like.
