Tables¶

FoldNotes supports GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) tables with live rendering and a visual table editor.

Table Syntax¶

Tables use pipes (|) and hyphens (-):

| Name    | Role       | Status  |
|---------|------------|---------|
| Alice   | Designer   | Active  |
| Bob     | Developer  | Active  |
| Charlie | PM         | On leave|

The second row is the separator row — it must contain at least three hyphens per column. You can use colons for alignment:

| Left    | Centre     | Right   |
|:--------|:----------:|--------:|
| text    | text       | text    |

Creating a Table¶

Press Cmd+Option+T or use the command palette (/ → Table) to insert a new table template.

Table Editor¶

FoldNotes includes a visual table editor for more comfortable editing. The table editor presents the table data in a spreadsheet-style grid where you can:

Edit cell contents directly
Add and remove rows and columns
Reorder columns

Changes in the table editor are written back to the Markdown source.

Rendering¶

Tables in the editor are styled with:

Header row in bold monospace
Separator row in muted colour
Data rows in regular monospace
Pipe characters dimmed for readability
A subtle background highlight groups the table visually

Inline formatting (bold, italic, links, tags) works inside table cells.

Preview¶

The Preview window renders tables with full styling — borders, striped rows, and header formatting.
