Advanced markdown
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.
Name | Hobby |
---|---|
John | Ultimate Frisbee |
Jane | Building Guitars |
Mark | Experimenting 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 |
| | |
| -------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 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.
