MarkdownTables

Renders GitHub-style markdown tables in Discord messages instead of showing raw pipe syntax.

Detected tables are rendered in place, with an optional Raw view for the original markdown.

Available on Equicord.

Table and Raw Views

When the toggle is enabled, each rendered table includes a small switcher:

• Table: the rendered view.
• Raw: the original markdown rendered in a code block.

Raw view uses Discord's code block renderer, so syntax-highlighting plugins can style it like any other markdown code block.

Settings

• Hide Toggle (default: true) Hides the Table/Raw switcher.

  • On (default): tables always render, no toggle visible.
  • Off: shows the switcher above every table.

  Turn this off to expose the Raw view.

Features

• Pipe tables with or without outer pipes.
• Left, center, and right alignment.
• Escaped pipes inside cells.
• Multiple tables per message.
• Adjacent text stays in place.
• Skips code blocks and malformed tables.
• Edge fades on scrollable wide tables.
