About ASCII Tables

ASCII Tables is a small web page for formatting plain-text tables. You paste rows of text with columns separated by a tab or four spaces, press Create Table, and it produces a formatted table, such as the MySQL-style layout with plus signs and pipes.

The output is meant for code comments, README files and GitHub Markdown, where a neatly aligned table is easier to read than raw text. The tool runs in the browser from GitHub Pages, and the source code is published on GitHub for anyone who wants to fork or host their own copy.

Strengths

  • Converts pasted text into an aligned table in one step
  • Output suits code comments and GitHub Markdown
  • Runs in the browser with nothing to install
  • Source is available to fork or host yourself

Limitations
