Nov 24, 2020 at 1:00 | comment | added | V2Blast | Relevant update: Stack Exchange is rolling out native table support. It goes into testing today on MSE and on the DBA Meta, then rolls out to DBA.SE itself a week later, and will be available network-wide a week after that. It uses "GitHub-flavored Markdown" table syntax (since CommonMark doesn't include a specification for tables at the moment). | |

Dec 6, 2018 at 12:55 | comment | added | Brian Burns | FWIW I put a +50 bounty on this question to try to see if anything had changed, but there was no response, so I put my points on meta.stackexchange.com/a/290841/234615, which mentioned some progress. Original bounty notes: "@Shog9 marked this as status-declined in April 2014 - see meta.stackexchange.com/a/228464/234615. I'd like to re-open this feature request and see if things might have changed. I'd vote for GFM or CommonMark tables." Here's hoping they continue work on this feature! | |

Aug 6, 2012 at 7:22 | comment | added | jippie | This is how they solve tables on MediaWiki: mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tables At first it looks a bit complicated, but if you carefully look at it, it isn't too bad at all. It saves a lot of typing effort in comparison with the (unsupported) html markup and manual formtting in code blocks. Just my €0.02 | |

Markdown, no. But Johannes posted a nice example in Please add support for tables in answers and questions, using Google Chart Tools. That needs some manual URL-encoding though, to use it in Markdown. (Johannes simply posted a screenshot there; don't be fooled! ;-) )

Dec 30, 2010 at 17:40 | comment | added | jball | @Michael Mrozek - I've run across performance comparisons or feature comparisons that are munged into the code formatting. It would be nice to see them (and the SQL posts) formatted more nicely. | |
Dec 30, 2010 at 17:06 | comment | added | Michael Mrozek | @Pekka Sure, I'm not against it, but the OP said "It seems like a lot of people try to display tables in SO questions but don't do a very good job", which I've not really seen | |

@Michael mmm, arguably, people don't mangle tables because they don't use them in the first case because the functionality isn't there. It would come in handy sometimes to have a possibility to present tabular data, although I don't know how to implement it exactly (Converting the way I show in my answer into a real <table> might be one possibility)
