Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Markdown Table Generator?
This tool outputs a plain padded text table (like the Unix `column -t` command) for terminals and logs, while the Markdown Table Generator outputs GitHub-Flavored Markdown pipe tables.
Can I align tab-separated data?
Yes. Choose Tab as the input delimiter to align TSV exports.
Does it handle uneven row lengths?
Yes. Missing cells are padded with spaces so every column stays aligned even if some rows have fewer fields.
Can I remove the header divider line?
Yes. Toggle off 'Add header divider line' to output a plain aligned table without a separator row.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and alignment run entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript.
