The Markdown components add column support to the Markdown specification. Columns are managed in the same way as tables, except that a broken pipe ¦ or exclamation mark ! is used to separate columns of the format line instead of pipes |.

Notes

  • Data rows always use pipes | like tables.
  • Columns do not have headers.

Variable columns width

Use exclamation marks ! in the format line. Column resizing follows the same rules as tables.

Example

! ---- ! ---- ! ---- !
| Data | Data | Data |

Fixed columns width

Uses broken pipes ¦ on the format row.

Notes

  • A fixed column block width is always the layout width, even for short content.
  • Fixed columns can only be used with a fixed-width control.

Example

¦ ---- ¦ ---- ¦ ---- ¦
| Data | Data | Data |
