Table support in Markdown sessions #131

Closed mmower closed 10 years ago

mmower commented 10 years ago

Jony I am really enjoying using Gorilla-repl. I watched your notebooks video and I agree there is something powerful here. I'm building an app and using the notebook approach to drive it. The notes are not comments, they're signposts I'm using as I think about/explore different ways of doing things. I absolutely would not leave these as comments in code. [Are you on IM or IRC btw?]

Anyway so something I'd like would be support for tables in markdown. The classic approach is to use <table> tags but that's a bit rubbish and there's syntax floating around using |....|....| to delimit columns that works pretty well, e.g.

http://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables

Not sure which markdown processor you're using but in my probing it doesn't appear to support them out of the box. Or am I doing it wrong?

Yes, table syntax would be nice!

At the moment it's using the Pagedown markdown processor, as used by SO. And as far as I can tell, it doesn't support table syntax.

So, I think it would probably require switching to a different js markdown processor. Shouldn't be too difficult.

marked supports tables, and a bunch more besides

JonyEpsilon commented 10 years ago

Thanks, that's very useful. I'll take a look at it. Was also thinking to take a look at the "Common markdown" parser that's been released recently.

Turns out CommonMark, as it's now called, doesn't include tables yet. Go with marked, which works a treat.
