How does the markdown table formatter handle column alignment?

The formatter automatically calculates the widest content in each column and adds consistent padding so all pipe characters align vertically, creating a clean, professional table layout.

Can it format tables with different numbers of columns per row?

The formatter works best with consistent column counts. If rows have mismatched columns, it will attempt to format them but may produce unexpected results. Ensure all rows have the same number of cells for best output.

Does formatting change the markdown table content?

No, the formatter only adjusts spacing and alignment. Your cell content, header text, and alignment indicators (like :---:) remain completely unchanged.

Can I format multiple tables in one document?

Yes, the markdown table formatter detects and formats all tables found in your input. Each table is processed independently with proper column alignment and spacing.

Is my data private when formatting tables?

Yes, all table formatting happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, keeping your markdown content completely private and secure.
