Split cell syntax contents generating table cells

[lmartins]

When I compile my markdown following your instruction to split a cell:

| sadasd |       das       |
| ------ | --------------- |
| sdad   | Senior Software |
|        | Engineer        |
| ------ | --------------- |
| sdasd  | sfafsf          |
| asdasd | dsdfsdf         |

I get this result:

Any idea of what might be causing it?

Im compiling the markdown using Assemble

This convention won't convert properly to HTML. The output you're seeing is the correct, expected result.

Is there any way this plugin can deal will long lines that must span across multiple lines? As it is now, as soon as a cell contents goes over a single line the table is completely broken in the editor (still outputs the correct code).

the table is completely broken in the editor

I haven't had this issue. Do you add line breaks or something similar?

[lmartins]

@jonschlinkert Im using Sublime's MarkdownEditing plugin combined with this one. Im not adding line-breaks in the table contents, but I do have line-wrap active in the editor, otherwise every row or paragraph wouldn't wrap.

SublimeTableEditor add space characters keep the table visual structure. This works really well as long as your cell contents don't need wrapping:

Once they get a bit longer it just breaks:

Do you have a different way to approach this?

Thanks.

For mutlimarkdown table syntax do not have. But let me show how to do this with for example EmacsOrgMode syntax and then you probably can inject result as not formatted text into your multi markdown document.

You can try split a long cell to 2 row. Let's we have a table

|    a    |             b             |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value a | _very very long value of b |
| value b | vary vary long value of b |
|         |                           |

Click "ctrl+k -"

|    a    |             b             |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value a | very very long value of b |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value b | very very long value of b |
|         |                           |

Move cursor to the position where you like split row

|    a    |             b             |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value a | very very long_ value of b |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value b | very very long value of b |
|         |                           |

Click alt+enter

|    a    |             b             |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value a | very very long            |
|         | value of b                |
|---------+---------------------------|
| value b | very very long value of b |
|         |                           |

Use Ctrl + j key if you like join cell back.

This is not multi markdown syntax but you can inject not formatted text into multi markdown with character "```"

Sadly still doesn't compile right, as I need to work with long content i'll have to resort to regular tables, which is a shame as I really like the way your plugin works.

Thanks anyway for your help @vkocubinsky
