# Copy Excel Paste Markdown

Copy a table in Excel (or other spreadsheet programs) and paste it as a Markdown table.

## Column Alignments

You can optionally specify column alignment information by prepending one of the following to the column heading names in Excel:

* ^c  - center alignment

* ^r  - right alignment

* ^l   - left alignment (the default)

For example: enter the following in Excel to right-align the second column and center-align the third column:

| animal | ^rweight | ^ccolor  |

|--------|----------|----------|

| dog    | 30lb     | tan      |

| dog    | 85lb     | black    |

| cat    | 18lb     | calico   |

This will produce the following markdown table when pasted:

```markdown

| animal | weight | color  |

|--------|-------:|:------:|

| dog    | 30lb   | tan    |

| dog    | 85lb   | black  |

| cat    | 18lb   | calico |

```
