Good to know!

Interesting! I use Version 1.13.1 (5676) and it definitely doesn’t 
work.

Re: [MlMt] Markdown tables and the Markdown engine in general

2021-08-29 Thread TJ Luoma
I believe that MultiMarkdown and PHPMarkdown Extra are considered pretty
much the definitive sources for this syntax.

https://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-5/tables.html

That page links to PHP Markdown Extra.

However I think that two dashes are used to ‘em-dashes’ which may be why
tables require at least three.

[MlMt] Markdown tables and the Markdown engine in general

2021-08-29 Thread leo

Hi there

I have noticed (through trial and error) that Markdown tables seem to 
need at least three dashes per column in the “line” under the 
header, e.g.


```
| aaa   | bbb  |
|---|--|
| hallo | duda |
| hallo | duda |
```

works, while

```
| aaa | bbb  |
| -- | -- |
| hallo | duda |
| hallo | duda |
```

doesn’t work.

Is there anywhere some docs for this particular Markdown dialect. - 
MailMate’s help just points to Gruber’s page, which doesn’t say 
anything about tables. Which engine is used? Can we change to another 
engine?


Many thanks for any help,
