ConvertTo-Markdown add '-Transpose' option to the -AsTable parameter #114

Closed martincaddick closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No problem, feature request

Describe the solution you'd like Running this command produces the desired details however I get a 1 row, very wide table. It would be awesome to be able to pass an additional parameter of -Transpose that would convert the columns to rows Get-SPOTenant | ConvertTo-MDTest -AsTable -Title "SharePoint" -PreContent "url of the SharePoint admin page" | Add-Content -Path .\SharePoint365.md

Describe alternatives you've considered I've previously used PSWriteWord with the -transpose switch that produced the desired outcome but I want to output in markdown tables. https://github.com/EvotecIT/PSWriteWord/blob/master/README.md

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. image

I'll take a look.

jdhitsolutions commented 2 years ago

I finally got a chance to look at this. The default output is a list. The AsTable parameter allows you to force a table if you know it will fit your needs.

I think if you run your command without AsTable you'll get the results you are expecting.

Markdown lists don't really have any sort of style as a table.

But maybe...after playing a bit with markdown, this might be what you are after.

Although there's no way to suppress that blank column headings.

Yet another option, but I don't think there is a way to force alignment.
