Markdown Table Formatter

This tool analyzes Markdown text to locate table blocks, validates the column counts, and reformats the content to produce consistently spaced pipes and alignment markers. It supports standard Markdown tables, including header rows and alignment markers, and leaves non-table content untouched.
Conceptually, the formatter tokenizes the document into blocks, detects table regions, computes the maximum width of each column, and reconstructs the table with uniform padding. It preserves cell content and escape sequences, avoids code blocks and fenced languages, and ensures the resulting Markdown remains valid for downstream processors.
Audience and value: writers, technical authors, and documentation teams benefit from faster editing, easier diffs, and consistent docs across repos. Unique differentiators include robust handling of common variants, guardrails against broken tables, and batch-processing support within a single document.
Core features include: table detection, column count normalization, alignment enforcement, whitespace trimming, and safe reformatting of multi-line cells. Use cases range from cleaning a single messy table to standardizing dozens of tables across a manuscript.
