Tables#

Tables are useful to display structured data.

Basic table#

Tables in Guider use the standard markdown syntax. You can use any inline styling inside of tables such as inline code, bolding and italics.

NameHobby
JohnUltimate Frisbee
JaneBuilding Guitars
MarkExperimenting with very wet bread dough
| Name     | Hobby                                   |
| -------- | --------------------------------------- |
| John     | Ultimate Frisbee                        |
| Jane     | Building Guitars                        |
| Mark     | Experimenting with very wet bread dough |

You can make cell widths different sizes, the output will be the same:

| Name | Hobby |
| --- | --- |
| John | Ultimate Frisbee |
| Jane | Building Guitars |
| Mark | Experimenting with very wet bread dough |

Need to use the pipe symbol (|) inside your table? Prefix it with a backslash (\) to make it count as cell content instead of a divider.

Empty headers#

Table headers in markdown are required, but if you leave them completely empty (only spaces). Guider will hide the header row for you.

| John     | Ultimate Frisbee                   |
| Jane     | Building Guitars                   |
| Mark     | Experimenting very wet bread dough |

Alignment#

You can align the contents of a column in a specific direction by adding a colon (:) to the left, right or both sides of the hyphens in the header row.
