MarkupTable 1.8.1 released
MarkupTable 1.8.1 is now available on the Mac App Store.
This update for MarkupTable contains a new feature for Markdown users and two bug fixes.
For Markdown users, there has long been a desire to be able to set the column alignment supported by the syntax. I thought long about how to incorporate this feature into MarkupTable without touching the structure of the CSV file format. In the end, I opted for the most obvious and perhaps also the “simplest” solution. The direct, but optional, entry of the alignment markup in the CSV table offers several advantages:
- the information can also be viewed in other programs
- Changes to the CSV file in other programs do not result in the alignment settings being lost
- the alignment can be adjusted quickly and easily in any editor
MarkupTable automatically recognizes the alignment markups and shapes them according to the table to create an aligned text.
The MarkupTable 1.8.1 Release Notes
New:
- tables that are to be formatted for Markdown can be provided with an alignment line. If the second line contains alignment elements (:--- , :---: , ---:), MarkupTable recognizes these and automatically adjusts the result in the conversion. If there are no alignment elements in the second line or it contains characters that are not allowed for alignment, the separator line between header and body will be added automatically as before.
Bug fixes:
- fixes a bug in the CSV view that caused entries made in the text field before the field separator was changed to be resetted under certain circumstances
- fixes a bug when importing CSV data via the “Import table from clipboard” function, which only produced empty values
