TIL how to create tables in markdown

POSTED ON:

TAGS: markdown

To make a table, you follow this pattern:

| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title       |
| Paragraph   | Text        |

Key points:

  1. You don't actually need to space everything out perfectly.
  2. It just has to be --- dashes. More is fine.

But what if you want alignment?

: is the trick!

:--- left align
:---: center
---: right align

| Syntax      | Description | Test Text     |
| :---        |    :----:   |          ---: |
| Header      | Title       | Here's this   |
| Paragraph   | Text        | And more      |
