# Tables

gmnhg uses preformatted text blocks to render ASCII text tables.

## Simple table example

```
+-----------+-------------+
|  Syntax   | Description |
+-----------+-------------+
| Header    | Title       |
| Paragraph | Text        |
+-----------+-------------+
```

## Empty rows or cells

These are picked up as well.

```
+-------+------+
| test  | nice |
+-------+------+
| `est` |      |
+-------+------+
```

```
+------+------+
| test | nice |
+------+------+
|      |      |
+------+------+
```

## Formatting inside tables

Text formatting is fully supported inside tables. Links will also get picked up, and a links block will appear after the parent table if needed.

```
+----------+----------+--------------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3[^1] |
+----------+----------+--------------+
| Item 1   | Item 2   | Item 3       |
| Item 1a  | Item 2a  | Item 3a      |
+----------+----------+--------------+
```
