I like to write in Markdown and often find myself needing tables. Are there any good ways of editing Markdown's pipe tables in Emacs? I am referring to this kind of syntax:
| Header | Header | Right |
|--------|--------|------:|
| Cell | Cell | $10 |
| Cell | Cell | $20 |
I first tried Emacs' table mode which is nice, but is designed for "grid tables" which are not supported by Markdown (let's say in Github's Markdown).
There is also org-mode's table mode which can be used as a minor mode. This comes pretty close; but the intersections are now replaced by + characters and there is no support the alignment colon. So org-tblmode first gives me something like this:
| Header | Header | Right |
|--------+--------+-------|
| Cell | Cell | $10 |
| Cell | Cell | $20 |
which I then need to manually edit to the following (editing intersection characters and adding alignment colon):
| Header | Header | Right |
|--------|--------|------:|
| Cell | Cell | $10 |
| Cell | Cell | $20 |
Is there some may that org-tblmode can also handle this?
What else do you use/suggest for editing Markdown's pipe tables in Emacs?
