Extended Table Syntax for Markdown

Tableau Tables gives you way more control over the tables you create in Markdown documents. tableau-markdown-it is the version of Tableau for the Markdown-It processor.

Headers

• Headerless tables
• Multiline headers
• Multiple separate headers
• Headers in columns and rows
• Captions

Layout

• Layout uses CSS styles and not inline attributes (making it easier to change the style of a whole document)
• Per cell alignment and CSS classes
• Default attributes, both down columns and across rows
• Table-wide classes
• Row and column span
• Continuation lines

Here are some samples.

   $  yarn add -S tableau-markdown-it       (npm i -S tableau-markdown-it)
