Problem with markdown tables

[German Jimenez]

Hi

Nikola is not rendering markdown tables for me. Since I started to writte with markdowm, I find it easier than rst, (just a little), all is working fine except for tables.

I don't even know if this is the way (pipe) to writte tables in markdown

| state          | population | economy | 

|:-----------------|:----------------|:--------------|

| Cordoba     | 341           | 189         | 

| Santa Fe    | 628           | 313         |

| San Luis    | 4669          | 6            |

Does anyone something?

Just tried it. Looks like it will work if you enable the tables
extension for markdown in your conf.py, since tables are not part of
markdown proper:

MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS = ['fenced_code', 'codehilite', 'tables']

It works, thanks

Hi,

I don't think the above code works anymore and my markdown tables look terrible.  I've used the following settings in conf.py

MARKDOWN_EXTENSIONS = ['markdown.extensions.fenced_code', 'markdown.extensions.codehilite', 'markdown.extensions.extra','markdown.extensions.meta','markdown.extensions.tables']

but it doesn't work.  Please help!

Thanks,

What do you mean by “terrible”? Using the example in the original
post, I get a properly formatted table with bold headers. If you want
it to look more like a table, you’d need to add a class.
Python-Markdown does not support this:
https://github.com/Python-Markdown/markdown/issues/312

A workaround that makes it look slightly better, although only due to
the way CSS is defined in Bootstrap, would be this:


<div class="table" markdown=1>
| state | population | economy |
|:------------|:--------------|:------------|

| Cordoba | 341 | 189 |
| Santa Fe | 628 | 313 |
| San Luis | 4669 | 6 |

</div>


PS. The `tables` extension is unnecessary if you have `extra` enabled.
