About table generator
Build a Markdown or HTML table from simple input, without typing every pipe and tag by hand.
Which format
- Markdown tables work in README files, wikis and many chat tools.
- HTML tables give you full control and work everywhere.
Accessibility
Use a header row so screen readers can tell which column each cell belongs to.
A worked example
From three rows of comma-separated text you get a Markdown table with a header row and alignment markers, or an HTML table with thead and tbody. Paste the Markdown into a README and the HTML into a web page.
Accessible tables
- Use a header row and mark header cells as headers.
- Add a caption that says what the table shows.
- Avoid using tables for page layout.
Choosing columns
Keep the table narrow so that it works on a phone. Put the most important column first, and avoid more than five or six columns in a document that people may read on mobile.
