Tables and Boards

Tables

A table starts with table and its title, and its rows are written as Markdown writes them:

table Opening hours
| Day | Opens | Closes |
|-|:-:|-:|
| Monday to Friday | 9:00 | 17:30 |
| Saturday | 10:00 | 16:00 |
| Sunday | closed | closed |

The text above: three rows under a header, Opens centred and Closes on the right

  • Cells go between bars. The first row is the header.
  • A line of dashes under the header says how each column lines up: :- on the left, :-: in the middle, -: on the right, - as its values suggest.
  • Rows can also be comma-separated values, the first row the header - Name, Age then Ann, 40 - with a cell holding a comma put in quotation marks. The first Dhole's headers: Name, Gender, Age is read too.

Each column is as wide as its widest cell, and numbers line up on the right unless the line under the header says otherwise. A row with more or fewer cells than the header is warned of, and drawn with the cells it has.

Boards

A board starts with kanban - or board - and its title. The lines at the top are its columns, and the lines indented under a column are its cards:

kanban This week
To do
  Write the report
  Book the hall [warn]
Doing
  Draw the plan [blue]
Done
  Order the chairs [good]

The text above: three columns of cards, each headed by its name and how many cards it holds

A colour or a role in brackets after a column's name colours the column, and after a card's the card's stripe. The columns stand side by side, each headed by its name and how many cards it holds.

Write Dhole's example keeps a board on the node - see the tutorial.
