FAQ
Does GitHub render markdown tables?
Yes. GitHub Flavored Markdown renders tables in issues, pull requests, comments, wikis and any .md file. The first row is the header, and the divider row under it is required.
How do I align a column?
Put a colon in the divider row under the header: at the left end for left-aligned, at the right end for right-aligned, at both ends for centered. Select a column in the grid and pick an alignment in the toolbar, and the divider is written for you.
How do I put a pipe character in a cell?
Escape it with a backslash, like \|. The generator does this for you: type a plain | in a cell and the copied markdown has \| in its place, which GitHub shows as a pipe.
Can a cell span two columns?
No. GitHub tables have no merged cells, and every row has the same number of columns. Leave the extra cell empty, or restructure the table so each value has its own cell.
