FAQ
Can I import data from a spreadsheet?
Yes. Copy cells from Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application and paste them into the import area. The tool detects tab-separated values and builds the table automatically.
Does it support multiline content in cells?
Markdown table cells do not natively support line breaks. The tool will keep cell content on a single line. For complex content, consider using HTML tables within your Markdown instead.
How do I set column alignment?
Click the alignment icon at the top of each column to cycle through left, center, and right alignment. The generator updates the separator row with the correct colon placement, such as :---: for center alignment.
