Tables on Community and markdown ?

Meta

I didn’t find a way to create a table to list the options in the posting. Is there a way to do so?

Do you mean a table similar to your GitHub page? Would simply copying table syntax from GitHub page here work? GitHub, Community and Stack Exchange all use the same so called markdown syntax, but they have different flavors of it. So I am not sure if table will work but maybe it is worth a shot.

Hi Vitaly, I copied the posting in github as is. The only thing that did not convert was the table :(.

I split this into a separate discussion. Indeed it looks like Stack Exchange and Community flavors of markdown do not support tables yet:

Is there any markdown to create tables?

We will look into it. It would be good to have especially with tools like THIS. Perhaps a solution could be placing WL generated TeX output between $$ tags. For example:

TeXForm[
 TableForm[
  {{A, B},
   {C, D}}
  ]
 ]

\begin{array}{cc}
 A & B \\
 C & D \\
\end{array}

so it should look like a table but it does not - though it does in preview:

\begin{array}{cc} A & B \\ C & D \\ \end{array}

And I agree - GitHub syntax integration would be nice. Any further ideas are welcome.

I think the WFR function MarkdownTableString does what you want, Diego.
