Created an issue and a PR with working markdown-it-multimd-table now 🙂
The syntax really isn't too esoteric in my opinion:
multiline - just add a slash at the end of a row and it will be merged with the next row.So the table from the first post would look like this: | Fruit | Price | Advantages | | :-------------- | :------------------ | :------------------- | | Bananana | first line | first line | \ | | second line | second line | | Bananana | first line | first line | \ | | second line | second line | if you want a cell to span multiple columns just end it with the amount of pipes equal to number of columns you want it to span. Essentially - create a totally empty cells without even a space inside.
For example: | 2-column header || | :--------------------- | ----------------------:| | single column| single column | | two columns || Rowspan is done by including ^^ in the cell below the one we want to span multiple rows. So for example: | Fruit | Price | Advantages | | :-------------- | :------------------ | :------------------- | | Bananana | two rows | one row | | Bananana | ^^ | one row | headerless is self-explaining I think 🙂 Just don't add any header and do everything the same way as it was done.
