How do I align columns left, center, or right?
Place colons in the separator row (the row of dashes between header and data). Use :--- for left, :---: for center, and ---: for right. The dashes must be on every column and the separator row is mandatory. Renderers ignore alignment colons in the source if they appear elsewhere; only the separator row controls it.
Can I paste CSV or TSV directly into the generator?
Yes. The tool detects comma- or tab-separated input and converts it to a Markdown table. Quoted fields containing commas are preserved correctly. After import you can rename headers, reorder columns, and add alignment without retyping data. This is the fastest way to migrate a spreadsheet column into documentation.
What if my cells contain pipe characters or newlines?
Escape literal pipes inside cells with a backslash like \|. Newlines inside a cell are not allowed in standard Markdown tables; replace them with the HTML break tag <br> if your renderer supports raw HTML. For complex multi-line content, switch to an HTML table - Markdown tables are intentionally lightweight and not meant to hold paragraphs.
Why does my table look broken on GitHub but fine elsewhere?
GitHub Flavored Markdown requires a header row, a separator row, and consistent pipe counts on every row. Missing the leading or trailing pipe is allowed in some flavors but not others. Some renderers also need a blank line before and after the table. Run your output through a GFM preview to catch issues before pushing.
Does the source need to align visually?
No. Renderers ignore extra whitespace inside cells, so the table renders identically whether the source pipes line up or not. Aligned source is much easier to read and edit by hand, which is why many editors auto-align on save. The generator emits aligned source by default, but copy-pasting into a non-aligning editor will eventually drift.
Are there limits on how big a Markdown table can be?
No hard spec limit, but practical limits arise from rendering. Static site generators slow down on tables with hundreds of rows because each one becomes DOM nodes. For large datasets, link to a CSV or JSON file instead, or render an interactive table component. Markdown tables shine for under 30 rows and a handful of columns.
