Markdown table syntax

GitHub Flavored Markdown tables have a header row, a delimiter row and data rows separated by pipes. Colons in the delimiter row control left, center or right alignment. A literal pipe inside a cell needs a backslash escape, including inside inline code.

CSV and Excel data

CSV stores values, not spreadsheet formulas or styles. Quoted fields can contain commas and line breaks. Cells copied from Excel or Google Sheets are usually tab-separated. The first imported row becomes the table header; shorter rows are padded with empty cells. Imports are limited to 200 data rows and 20 columns.

Table compatibility

Pipe tables work on GitHub and other GFM renderers, but are not part of core CommonMark. Merged cells, formulas and nested block elements are not supported. Cell line breaks become HTML br elements, which some publishing systems remove. Preview the final result in your target editor before publishing.
