Help needed with tables

[robguinness]

Hi, I'm new to markdown-pdf. I have understood that remarkable is the underlying markdown parser. According to the remarkable docs, tables using GFM syntax are supported and enabled by default. However, when I tested this, the PDF output looks nothing like a nicely formatted table:

The corresponding markdown is:

| Key     | Description                                                   |
| ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| text    | A string representing the search query                        |
| count   | *(optional)* The number of results to return. Defaults to max |

Do I need to do anything special to enable this functionality or to format the table?

Yeah, it took me a while to figure this out as well.

I believe it's the leading and trailing pipe symbols (|). Change your markdown code to look more like this:

Key    | Description                                                   
-------|-------------------------------------------------------------
text   | A string representing the search query                        
count  | *(optional)* The number of results to return. Defaults to max

I have the same markdown style as you @robguinness and changing it did not work.
You need to set a css style for your table, e.g.
table, th, td { border: 1px solid black; }
Then have the markdown-pdf use your css file. I added the above to the css/pdf.css file and linked to it in this way markdown-pdf -s css/pdf.css
