Markdown Table Generator

Q: What is Markdown table syntax?

Markdown tables use pipe | characters to separate columns and hyphens --- to separate the header row from data rows. The separator row also controls column alignment: :--- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right, and plain --- defaults to left. Each row must start and end with | in GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown).

Q: How does column alignment work in Markdown tables?

Alignment is set in the separator row using colons: | :--- | = left aligned (default), | :---: | = center aligned, | ---: | = right aligned. Click the alignment icon in each column header to cycle through left, center, and right. The tool automatically generates the correct separator syntax in the Markdown output.

GFM tables are supported by GitHub, GitLab, VS Code, Notion, Obsidian, and most modern Markdown renderers. If you need maximum compatibility, use HTML tables instead.
