Markdown Preview?

Actions - Help & Questions
1

I’ve got a shortcut that creates a draft, and saves the uuid then it allows me to append rows to it through out the night, but for some reason if I try to preview the draft it’s not processing the markdown. Does it not handle tables?

| Table | Seated | People Count | Total | Total Tip |
|-------|:------:|---------:|------:|---------:|
| 105 | 4:15 pm | 1 | 11.1 | 3 |
| 108 | 4:30 pm | 3 | 34.92 | 7.76 |
| 103 | 5:00 pm | 2 | 33.36 | 7 |

am I doing something wrong?

Works okay for me using this action, which I think is a pretty standard one.

What are you using, and is there anything preceding the table that could potentially affect the preview?

This is what it looks like when I use the action you linked…

If I set my Markdown processor (under Settings > Miscellaneous: Markdown Options) to GitHub Flavoured and set the Strict option to be enabled, I can get it to do that.

What do your Markdown Options look like?

Mine /was/ set to MultiMarkdown. Changing it over to Github does seem to process the table correctly…

I forget why I had it on MultiMarkdown… oh well…

Thank you for your help.

It was fine for me on Multi-markdown. What options did you have enabled?

These worked fine for me.

I had the first one (compatibility mode) checked. Unchecking it seemed to do the trick.

thanks again.

By the way the People Count column heading could probably be People<br/>Count - if you want a narrower column with a two row heading.

(Hoping the above came out OK.)
