How do I align columns in a Markdown table?

Use the separator row: :--- for left alignment (default), :---: for center, ---: for right. This tool sets alignment with buttons so you don't need to remember the syntax.

Does GitHub support Markdown tables?

Yes. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) supports tables with header rows, separator rows, and data rows. The pipe | character separates columns.

Can I paste existing CSV into the generator?

Yes — paste a tab-separated or comma-separated block of text and click 'Import CSV/TSV' to populate the table grid.

What is the pipe (|) syntax in Markdown tables?

Each row starts and ends with | and cells are separated by |. The second row must be the separator row with at least three dashes per column (---) to define this as a table header.
