Enable Pelican to Render Markdown Tables

2017-03-19 Beijing

Pelican will not process markdown style table in default. However, if you want to use this kind of tables, you can add the follow config to pelicanconf.py:

MARKDOWN = {
    'extension_configs': {
        'markdown.extensions.tables':{},
    }
}

Then,you can use the following code to generate the table below:

|First Header  | Second Header|
|------------- | -------------|
|Content Cell  | Content Cell|
|Content Cell  | Content Cell|

First Header	Second Header
Content Cell	Content Cell
Content Cell	Content Cell

First Header

Second Header

Content Cell

By default,if you use bootstrap, the table will not have borders, you can tackle this problem by adding the following codes to the end of your html file.

<script>
   $(document).ready(function () {
      $("table").attr("class","table table-condensed table-bordered");
   });
</script>
