Tables

To add a table, use three or more hyphens (---) to create each column’s header, and use pipes (|) to separate each column. You can also add a pipe at either end of the row, but it is not necessary.

Table

| Method      | Description     |
| ----------- | --------------- |
| `GET`       | Fetch resource  |
| `PUT`       | Update resource |
| `DELETE`    | Delete resource |

Method	Description
`GET`	Fetch resource
`PUT`	Update resource
`DELETE`	Delete resource

You don't have to make each cell the same width, but it looks clearer if you do.

Tip

Creating tables with hyphens and pipes can be tedious. To speed up the process, try using the Markdown Tables Generator. Build a table using the graphical interface, and then copy the generated Markdown-formatted text into your file.

Alignment¶

You can align text in the columns to the left, right, or center by adding a colon (:) to the left, right, or on both sides of the hyphens within the header row.
