Currently, Prettier has a default format for all
*.mdtables. The format is great for basic tables with short plain text. But if the columns have extended text or links, the formatter makes the columns very difficult to read or edit in editing mode.Prettier needs to have a total max column character count, say, for example, 20 characters (possibly user set). If there is 1 column the max for that column is 20 if, two columns I column can be 5 and the other 15, etc.
Prettier then needs two
*.mdformatting patterns so once the total column width total excepts the limit then, the alternative (singleseparates content and|) is used.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
