As is, orgtbl-mode is a great addition to markdown-mode. There is one snag:
The markdown table syntax isn’t fully standardized. A number of implementations react unfavorable to the + characters that orgtbl-mode uses as a column/row separator in the line separating the header from the body of the table; they prefer the | character here as well. So I apply this little patch in org-table-align each time I install a new version of org-mode: org-table.el 874c158 < (hfmt1 "-%s-+")) --- > (hfmt1 "-%s-|")) ; HACK: + ➔ | Works perfectly. But it would be nice not to have to apply this patch each time I update. Would it be possible to make hfmt1 configurable? (Preferably, using a buffer-local variable so I don’t have to break tables in org-mode proper?) Grüße, Carsten
