As I mentioned in my last post, I start using StackEdit, instead of Windows Live Writer, to post updates on my Blogger site. One of the functions I want to test in StackEdit is to add tables in the post.
It’s very easy to insert a table in Windows Live Writer. And I can even prepare a table in Excel, then copy/paste in Windows Live Writer and post in Blogger. The format of the table mostly maintains on the post.
The following table is from one of my previous post. The table is originally created in Excel. When using the Blogger web editor to make the table readable, I need to paste it in Word, reformat the column width to fit the width of my blog (after a few reposts), save it as “Web Page, Filtered” htm file, open the htm in Notepad, and copy/paste the HTML codes to Blogger.
StackEdit doesn’t have the “built-in” GUI tool to add a table. Fortunately, the Markdown Tables Generator exists. I copy the table from Excel, use File –> Paste table data to generate the markdown, click “Copy to clipboard”, and paste them in StackEdit. Let us see how it looks. Except the grid border line not showing, the rest of format looks right.
