Extended Table Syntax for Markdown

Tableau Tables gives you way more control over the tables you create in Markdown documents. tableau-marked is the version of Tableau for the Python Markdown processor.

Headers

• Headerless tables
• Multiline headers
• Multiple separate headers
• Headers in columns and rows
• Captions

Layout

• Layout uses CSS styles and not inline attributes (making it easier to change the style of a whole document)
• Per cell alignment and CSS classes
• Default attributes, both down columns and across rows
• Table-wide classes
• Row and column span
• Continuation lines

Here are some samples.

Installation

1. Install the extension:

   $ pip install git+https://github.com/tableau-tables/python-tableau-parser

   (once things have settled it'll be moved to PyPl.)

2. Add it to your list of Markdown extensions

   markdown.markdown(your_documenti, extensions=[..., 'python-tableau-parser', ...])
