How to display Table in README.md file in Github?
I want to display a table in readme.md file. I read GitHub Flavored Markdown and followed what it said. So this is my table:
| Attempt | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8 | #9 | #10 | #11 | #12 |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 | 290 | 286 | 289 | 285 | 287 | 287 | 272 | 276 | 269 | 254 |
However, I don't see any table and result looks like:
You need to see documentation again. You can see this cheatsheet
In your case you need to make second line like in example below:
Attempt | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8 | #9 | #10 | #11
--- | --- | --- | --- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |--- |---
Seconds | 301 | 283 | 290 | 286 | 289 | 285 | 287 | 287 | 272 | 276 | 269
difference between this code and your code in repo is that second line with separator has same columns as header. After that this table will be shown
| Attempt | #1 | #2 | #3 | #4 | #5 | #6 | #7 | #8 | #9 | #10 | #11 | #12 |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 | 290 | 286 | 289 | 285 | 287 | 287 | 272 | 276 | 269 | 254 |
Making your example shorter to make easier to understand.
| Attempt | #1 | #2 |
| :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 |
And formatted to make it even easier to read.
| Attempt | #1 | #2 |
| :---: | :-: | :-: |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 |
Headers must be separated by pipe |
characters and underlined by -
dash characters.
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens
-
(for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe|
.First Header | Second Header ------------- | ------------- Content Cell | Content Cell Content Cell | Content Cell
For aesthetic purposes, you can also add extra pipes on the ends:
| First Header | Second Header | | ------------- | ------------- | | Content Cell | Content Cell | | Content Cell | Content Cell |

Our example becomes:
| Attempt | #1 | #2 |
| ------- | --- | --- |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 |
Finally, by including colons : within the header row, you can define text to be left-aligned, right-aligned, or center-aligned:
| Left-Aligned | Center Aligned | Right Aligned | | :------------ |:---------------:| -----:| | col 3 is | some wordy text | $1600 | | col 2 is | centered | $12 | | zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
— GitHub Flavored Markdown
So to center align, our example becomes:
| Attempt | #1 | #2 |
| :-----: | :-: | :-: |
| Seconds | 301 | 283 |
