HTML table to Markdown converter

How to use it

1. Enter html table code and pad columns to equal width.
2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Rows (<tr>) and cells (<th>, <td>) are read from the first table, tags are stripped and entities decoded, then the first row is written as the header followed by a --- row; | becomes \| and line breaks become <br>.

Example

Inputs: Pad columns to equal width = yes. Result: Markdown table: | product | price | | ---------- | ----- | | Tea & mint | 12.5 | | Coffee | 18 |; Rows: 3; Columns: 2.

<table>
  <tr><th>product</th><th>price</th></tr>
  <tr><td>Tea &amp; mint</td><td>12.5</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Coffee</td><td>18</td></tr>
</table>

| product    | price |
| ---------- | ----- |
| Tea & mint | 12.5  |
| Coffee     | 18    |

Limits and caveats

• Merged cells have no Markdown equivalent and are read as one cell.
• Links, images and bold text become plain text.
