# markdown-table-editor
Markdown table editor/formatter
## Quick guide
0. Set editor's grammar to `GitHub Markdown` or `Markdown`.
1. Input a pipe `|` and some content (the cursor position is indicated by `_`).
``` markdown
| foo_
```
(If you are using [language-markdown](https://atom.io/packages/language-markdown), don't forget a space after a pipe.)
2. Hit tab to move to the next cell.
``` markdown
| foo | _
| --- |
```
3. Continue typing.
``` markdown
| foo | bar | _
| --- | --- |
```
4. Hit enter to move to the next row.
``` markdown
| foo | bar |
| --- | --- |
| _ | |
```
5. Continue typing...
``` markdown
| foo | bar |
| --- | --- |
| baz | _ |
```
6. Hit esc to finish editing the table.
``` markdown
| foo | bar |
| --- | --- |
| baz | |
_
```

You can execute commands from the command palette (Windows, Linux: ctrl + shift + p / macOS: cmd + shift + p) or from the Packages menu.
It will be more convenient if you add some keybindings to your `keymap.cson`.
Here are the ones which I use:
``` coffee
'atom-text-editor:not(.mini):not(.autocomplete-active).markdown-table-editor-active':
'cmd-left' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-left'
'cmd-right' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-right'
'cmd-up' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-up'
'cmd-down' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-down'
'shift-cmd-left' : 'markdown-table-editor:align-left'
'shift-cmd-right' : 'markdown-table-editor:align-right'
'shift-cmd-up' : 'markdown-table-editor:align-center'
'shift-cmd-down' : 'markdown-table-editor:align-none'
'alt-shift-cmd-left' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-column-left'
'alt-shift-cmd-right': 'markdown-table-editor:move-column-right'
'alt-shift-cmd-up' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-row-up'
'alt-shift-cmd-down' : 'markdown-table-editor:move-row-down'
'cmd-k cmd-i' : 'markdown-table-editor:insert-row'
'cmd-k alt-cmd-i' : 'markdown-table-editor:delete-row'
'cmd-k cmd-j' : 'markdown-table-editor:insert-column'
'cmd-k alt-cmd-j' : 'markdown-table-editor:delete-column'
```
## FAQ
### Q. My table does not align well when dealing with Chinese characters
A. Use a monospaced font that includes glyphs for Chinese characters, such as [Noto Sans Mono CJK](https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-cjk).
markdown-table-editor supports East Asian characters including Chinese characters :)
## For developers
This package is based on [markdown-table-editor kernel](https://github.com/susisu/mte-kernel), which provides a text editor independent implementation of the functionality of the package.
You can create a markdown-table-editor plugin for your favorite text editor with ease!
