About Markdown Tables

Markdown tables use pipes (|) to separate columns and dashes (-) to define headers. They're widely supported across platforms like GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Discord, and many documentation systems.

Example Markdown:
| Name     | Age | City      |
|:---------|:---:|----------:|
| John Doe | 25  | New York  |
| Jane     | 30  | London    |
Alignment Syntax:
  • :--- for left alignment
  • :---: for center alignment
  • ---: for right alignment

The alignment row determines how content appears in each column when rendered.
