Frequently asked questions

How do I align columns in a Markdown table?

Put colons in the separator row: a colon on the left for left alignment, both sides for centre and on the right for right alignment.

How do I put a pipe character inside a cell?

Escape it with a backslash in your Markdown file, or use its HTML entity. Otherwise the pipe is read as a column divider.
