Markdown Table Generator

How to use

1. Copy cells from a spreadsheet or web page and paste them on the left (CSV works too).
2. Choose the alignment. The first row becomes the header.
3. Copy the Markdown code on the right.

Options explained

Alignment

In auto mode, columns whose body cells are all numbers are right-aligned (---:) and the rest left-aligned; you can also align everything left, center or right.

Padding

Cells are padded by display width, counting CJK characters as two, so the source lines up in a monospace font.

Special characters

A | inside a cell is escaped as \| and line breaks become <br>, so the table doesn’t break.

Example output

Pasting these cells, with a pipe in the first note:

Name    Qty   Note
Apple   12    a|b
Pear    3

gives this table with automatic alignment:

| Name  | Qty | Note |
| ----- | --: | ---- |
| Apple |  12 | a\|b |
| Pear  |   3 |      |

The Qty column is right-aligned because every body cell is a number, which is why its separator ends in a colon. Each column is at least three characters wide, the pipe in a|b is escaped, and the empty cell is kept so the row still has three columns.
