Table

Tabular data is a great way to lay out the information.

A Table in Markdown always has the title row followed by the alignment row, then your content can follow from the third row.

Here is how you can create a Table and in this example, it will have three columns but you can create as many as you require:

• The 1st column is using :--- which will make the whole column left aligned

• The 2nd column is using :---: which will make the whole column centred

• The 3rd column is using ---: which will make the whole column right aligned

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| :--- | :---: | ---: |
| Row 1a | Row 1b | Row 1c |
| Row 2a | Row 2b | Row 2c |

The rendered Table will look like this:

Using the Styling covered previously, you can create emphasis in the Table with bold or italic:

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| :--- | :---: | ---: |
| Row 1a | Row 1b | Row 1c *italic* |
| Row 2a | Row 2b **bold** | Row 2c |
