Is there a way to input a newline into a table cell? For example, say I have a table like this:
+==========+==========+==========+
+ Header 1 + Header 2 + Header 3 +
+==========+==========+==========+
+ Item 1 + + +
+ Item 2 + + +
+----------+----------+----------+
I want the above to create a table with two rows, three columns, and the second row, first column to display Item 1 and Item 2 on separate lines.
I have tried the line blocks syntax |, but it doesn't work inside a table cell. I can use list syntax, but I don't want bullet points to appear.
First of all I think your table syntax is incorrect, should it not be:
+----------+----------+----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+==========+==========+==========+
| Item 1 | | |
| Item 2 | | |
+----------+----------+----------+
Note that the top row is made up of hyphens, not equal signs, and the rows are separated by pipes, |, not plus signs.
Now with this table, the line block syntax:
+----------+----------+----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+==========+==========+==========+
| | Item 1 | | |
| | Item 2 | | |
+----------+----------+----------+
seems to work: testing with Pandoc the bottom left cell gets transformed into the following HTML:
<td align="left">Item 1<br />Item 2</td>
Note the line break <br /> in between Item 1 and Item 2.
You can also leave a gap between the lines like this
+----------+----------+----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+==========+==========+==========+
| Item 1 | | |
| | | |
| Item 2 | | |
+----------+----------+----------+
This method tends to be friendlier with editors so they dont think you have accidentally added an extra pipe
I use the following syntax to create tables including multiline cells with sphinx:
.. list-table::
* - **HEADER1**
- **HEADER2**
- **HEADER3**
* - TEXT 1
- | MULTILINE
| TEXT
- | MULTILINE
| TEXT 2
I use line blocks with beginning | to preserve the line-breaks.

I have a column 'Apples' in azure table that has this string: "Colour:red,Size:small".
Current situation:
|-----------------------|
| Apples |
|-----------------------|
| Colour:red,Size:small |
|-----------------------|
Desired Situation:
|----------------|
| Colour | Size |
|----------------|
| Red | small |
|----------------|
Please help
I'll answer the title as I noticed many people searched for a solution.
The key here is mv-expand operator (expands multi-value dynamic arrays or property bags into multiple records):
datatable (str:string)["aaa,bbb,ccc", "ddd,eee,fff"]
| project splitted=split(str, ',')
| mv-expand col1=splitted[0], col2=splitted[1], col3=splitted[2]
| project-away splitted
project-away operator allows us to select what columns from the input exclude from the output.
Result:
+--------------------+
| col1 | col2 | col3 |
+--------------------+
| aaa | bbb | ccc |
| ddd | eee | fff |
+--------------------+
This query gave me the desired results:
| parse Apples with "Colour:" AppColour ", Size:" AppSize
Remember to include all the different delimiters preceding each word you want to extract, e.g ", Size". Mind the space between.
This helped me then i used my intuition to customize the query according to my needs:

I know how to set to up a table in a jupyter notebook`. I even looked up internet and imitated it. However it is not working? Anyone can tell me what is wrong with my notebook, is there anything I should change while constructing markdown table
Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
Two things:
the example code is missing the first | character
dollar signs need to be escaped with a backslash (\) since MathJax is enabled
Try this:
|Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| ------:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | \$1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | \$12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | \$1 |
I've looked all over for answers on how to do this, including dozens of answers on Stack Overflow that provide almost but not quite solutions.
I am trying to make a table/list with a number of options. Imagine a table with the following columns:
Delete: A simple icon. This must be a fixed width (because it uses an image)
Name: The name of the item in the list. This should fill the remaining available space, but if the text overflows, I want the ellipsis to appear.
Options A/B/C: You can imagine these are check boxes and also are a fixed with.
So on a wide table it'd look like this:
| X | Item 1 in the list | A | B | C |
| X | Item 2 | A | B | C |
| X | Item 3 has a pretty long name | A | B | C |
| X | Item 4's name is long, realll... | A | B | C |
And on a short table (or say, after the window resized):
| X | Item 1 in the list | A | B | C |
| X | Item 2 | A | B | C |
| X | Item 3 has a pretty... | A | B | C |
| X | Item 4's name is... | A | B | C |
If someone could provide a fiddle showing this in action, that'd be absolutely fantastic.
EDIT: Thank you so much Plymouth!
I've created a fiddle here.
These are the important styles:
table
{
table-layout:fixed;
}
.col2
{
width:auto;
text-overflow:ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
}
Is this what you're after?
Is there anyway to refer a table in RestructuredText? something like see table `referencetable`_
(I saw some workarounds for referencing figures. couldn't find a way to refer a table though .. )
Thanks!
You can simply define a hyperlink target.
Here is table-1_.
.. _table-1:
+------------+------------+-----------+
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
+============+============+===========+
| body row 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
+------------+------------+-----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns.|
+------------+------------+-----------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Cells |
+------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - blocks. |
+------------+------------+-----------+
In RestructuredText, you can render a header row in a table like this (taken from the documentation :
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
| (header rows optional) | | | |
+========================+============+==========+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Table cells |
+------------------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - body elements. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
Is it possible to do the something similar with the first column?
An example, which clearly doesn't work, could be the following (note the double like at the end of column 1):
+------------------------++------------+----------+----------+
| Header row, column 1 || Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
| (header rows optional) || | | |
+========================++============+==========+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 || column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+------------------------++------------+----------+----------+
| body row 2 || Cells may span columns. |
+------------------------++------------+---------------------+
| body row 3 || Cells may | - Table cells |
+------------------------++ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 || | - body elements. |
+------------------------++------------+---------------------+
You may achieve this using list-table directive with option stub-columns. Or, you may even combine stub-columns with header-rows. See the http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#list-table for the details. Hereafter is a simple example:
.. list-table:: Sample list table
:widths: 10 20 20
:header-rows: 1
:stub-columns: 1
* -
- Column 1
- Column 2
* - Row 1
- Hello
- World!
* - Row 2
- Hello
- List Table!
* - Row 3
- This
- Works
An obvious disadvantage is that you need to maintain table content as a list, which may be not that much convenient as with regular simple tables. So, you might want to check out the csv-table directive here: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#id1 , which also has option stub-columns.
If you need to stick to regular tables syntax - sorry, I'm not sure this is possible. As a workaround - you can use strong emphasis for text in the first column :-)
