Git Hub Repo

https://github.com/hotmit/table-markdown-userscript

Usage

1. Display The Interface

Press Shift, Shift, T (press in sequence, not together as combination)

2. Click on the "MD" button to copy the markdown content to your clipboard

Features

Support both th and td (old vs new table markup)

Support colspan

Limitation

If the colspan is not exact, this will create improper table size (sometime ppl use large colspan to fill the unknown column size colspan="100" even when there only 7 columns for instance)

Todo

[ ] Fix the colspan error

[x] Add ref link below the table

[ ] Detect and generate text alignment

Example

Regular table

Table after markdown table control is activated
