Markdown tables (the pipe-and-dash format) are easy to write but pasting them into a CMS or email often loses the table structure. Convert pipe-delimited markdown into semantic HTML <table>, <thead>, <tbody>, <th>, <td> with proper alignment, ready to paste into Confluence, WordPress, Gmail, or any HTML-aware editor.
When to use this
Use to: port markdown documentation to Confluence (which doesn't natively render markdown tables in older versions), embed a table in an email signature or Gmail, generate static-site table HTML from markdown sources, convert GFM tables for use in non-GFM markdown engines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it preserve column alignment?
Yes - markdown alignment markers (`:---` left, `:---:` center, `---:` right) convert to inline `style="text-align: ..."` on the <th> and <td> cells. Use a CSS class if you prefer; the tool offers both options.
What if my table has merged cells?
Standard markdown tables don't support merged cells (colspan / rowspan). If you need merged cells, you'll need to author the HTML directly or use a markdown extension like MultiMarkdown. Our converter only handles standard pipe-table syntax.
