Tables

GFM tables use pipes (|) to separate columns and a delimiter row of dashes.

Tips​

  • The outer pipes on each row are optional but improve readability.
  • Cell content can include inline formatting such as bold and code.
  • Tables cannot contain block-level elements (nested lists or code blocks) inside cells.
