The point of orgtbl-mode is to edit Org tables, not Markdown tables, which have a different syntax. The usual workflow is to edit the Org mode tables and "send" it to another location within the same buffer, applying some pre-defined transformation. See (info "(org) Radio tables") for more information. Another option is to add an advice on `org-table-align'. See `add-advice'. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
