MarkdownTable

class support.markdown_util.table.MarkdownTable(header=None, data=None)

Bases: object

Create a formatted markdown table from some header and data. header and data should contains strings, as MarkdownTable makes no attempt to format strings.

Examples:

We can set data and header before initializing

>>> header = ["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"]
>>> data = [["1","2","3"],["a"*10,"b","c"]]
>>> table = MarkdownTable(header=header, data=data)
>>> print(table.dump())

… or after

>>> table = MarkdownTable()
>>> table.header = ["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"]
>>> table.data = [["1","2","3"],["a"*10,"b","c"]]
>>> print(table.dump())

Both will produce the following output:

| Column 1   | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| ========== | ======== | ======== |
| 1          | 2        | 3        |
| aaaaaaaaaa | b        | c        |

We can get individual rows and columns from a MarkdownTable instance:

>>> table.row(0)
["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3"]
>>> table.column(0)
["Column 1", "1"]
