Tables

[CaiB]

I'm working on moving some documentation for a project of mine into a website using Doks. So far things are going OK. The biggest question I have however, is how do I create a table? I'm used to the GitHub Markdown syntax of |---| etc, but that doesn't appear to work.

Thanks!

I ended up manually making the table with <table>, <tr>, etc. Please let me know if there is a better method.

Hello @CaiB,

Tables in markdown are converted per default. So, I suppose you mean the styling.

You could add e.g. the following to e.g. ./assets/scss/common/_global.scss:

table {
  @extend .table;
  margin: 3rem 0;
}

Then...

...will result in:

Gotcha, thank you. I must have simply made a mistake in my markdown syntax.

Markdown tables are notoriously hard to write and maintain, so a solution with html is perfectly workable.

Hi,

you can visit https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables

,type in your field manually like you would in Excel sheet and it will generate the markdown version of it.

Simply copy and paste.

The HTML tab above is also handy for generating HTML tables easily.
