A Developer's Guide to the Markdown Table Generator

The Markdown Table Generator is a simple but powerful tool that takes the pain out of creating tables in Markdown. Instead of manually aligning pipes (|) and dashes (-), you can use a familiar grid interface to build your table.

Features

  • Grid Interface: Add, edit, and manage your table content in a simple, spreadsheet-like grid.
  • Dynamic Sizing: Easily change the number of rows and columns, and the grid will update instantly without losing your existing data.
  • Alignment Control: For each column, you can cycle through left, center, and right alignment with a single click. The tool will automatically generate the correct : syntax in the Markdown output.
  • Real-time Markdown Generation: The raw Markdown for your table is generated and displayed in real-time as you make changes to the grid.
  • Copy-to-Clipboard: A dedicated button lets you copy the generated Markdown, ready to be pasted into your README.md, documentation, or notes.

How to Use

  1. Set Dimensions: Use the "Rows" and "Columns" input fields to set the size of your table.
  2. Set Headers and Data:
    • Click into the header cells (the bolded top row) to name your columns.
    • Fill in the rest of the grid with your table data.
  3. Set Alignment: Above each column header, there is an alignment button. Click it to cycle through left, center, and right alignment for that column.
  4. View the Markdown: The "Generated Markdown" text area at the bottom will show the raw table syntax, updated with every change you make.
  5. Copy: Once your table is complete, click the "Copy Markdown" button.
