I would like to use semantic linefeeds when writing tables markdown such that each cell can appear on its own line.

For example, if I have this table:

|         | Column One | Column Two | Column Three |
|---------|------------|------------|--------------|
| Row One | Cell One   | Cell Two   | Cell Three   |
| Row Two | Cell Four  | Cell Five  | Cell Six     |

Assuming that each cell's content might be a full sentence, I might want to write it something like this:

|         | Column One | Column Two | Column Three |
|---------|------------|------------|--------------|
| Row One
  | Cell One
  | Cell Two
  | Cell Three
| Row Two
  | Cell Four
  | Cell Five
  | Cell Six

Is there any way in GitHub Flavored Markdown to break the cells of a single row across multiple lines, outside of just writing the raw HTML tags?

  • Upon further reflection, I believe what I am looking for is bash-style _line continuation_, and this question is effectively also duplicated here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15955160/markdown-table-with-long-lines – NReilingh Dec 27 '20 at 06:49

Neat idea, but unfortunately this isn't supported by GitHub's support for tables in Markdown.
