Copy a table in Excel (or other spreadsheet programs) and paste it as a Markdown table.
You can optionally specify column alignment information by prepending one of the following to the column heading names in Excel:
- ^c - center alignment
- ^r - right alignment
- ^l - left alignment (the default)
For example: enter the following in Excel to right-align the second column and center-align the third column:
| animal | ^rweight | ^ccolor |
|---|---|---|
| dog | 30lb | tan |
| dog | 85lb | black |
| cat | 18lb | calico |
This will produce the following markdown table when pasted:
| animal | weight | color |
|--------|-------:|:------:|
| dog | 30lb | tan |
| dog | 85lb | black |
| cat | 18lb | calico |
