HTML Table to Markdown Conversion Guide

Markdown tables use a simple syntax with pipes (|) and dashes (-) to represent tabular data. When converting from HTML tables to Markdown, it's helpful to understand the structure and limitations of Markdown tables.

Basic Conversion Rules

This tool follows these basic principles when converting HTML tables to Markdown:

  • The first row of the HTML table becomes the header row in Markdown
  • A separator row with dashes (---) is automatically added after the header
  • Table cells are separated by pipe characters (|)
  • Special characters like pipes (|) are escaped to prevent them from breaking the table structure

Markdown Table Syntax Example

markdown
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 |

This creates a simple three-column table with a header row and two data rows. The second line with dashes is required to format it as a proper markdown table.
