How to create a Markdown table?

A Markdown table consists of a header row, a separator row with dashes, and data rows. Each cell is separated by a pipe character (|). This tool lets you visually build the table by adding rows and columns, then generates the proper Markdown syntax automatically.

What is the Markdown table syntax?

The basic syntax is: | Header 1 | Header 2 | followed by | --- | --- | (the separator) and then | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | for each data row. The separator defines column alignment: --- for left, :---: for center, ---: for right.

Where can I use Markdown tables?

Markdown tables work in GitHub README files, GitLab, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Notion, Obsidian, Jupyter notebooks, documentation sites, and any platform that supports Markdown rendering. They are ideal for displaying structured data in documentation.

How do I align columns in a Markdown table?

Column alignment is set in the separator row. Use :--- for left alignment, :---: for center alignment, and ---: for right alignment. This tool lets you choose the alignment for each column from a dropdown menu.
