gollum: Tables are not being rendered properly

same issue here, fine in preview

• fixed by re-running

gem install gollum
gem install github-markdown

Tables render in quite a narrow box leading to scrolling, however. is there a way to adjust the table width in the CSS?

gem install gollum should automatically install kramdown as markdown renderer. You could try doing gem install github-markdown and see if it renders correctly with that (@bartkamphorst, is it possible that you were accidentally using github-markdown in your test?).

It would appear that GFM requires a minimum of three hyphens before it’s interpreted as a table. Arbitrarily adding/removing spaces in the header/body makes no difference so long as three hyphens are present per column.

| P | Q | P * Q |
| - | - | - |
| T | T | T |
| T | F | F |
| F | T | F |
| F | F | F |


|A|B|C|AA|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|Q|W   |    E | RR     |

For what it’s worth, Atom uses a different library for its Markdown previewer

Hello, I had the same problem with a table containing two hyphens | --|–|; after adding a hyphen |—|—|, the table rendered correctly.

I have the following versions: ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-linux-gnu] gem 2.7.6 gollum (4.1.4) github-markdown (0.6.9) kramdown (1.9.0)

I can echo this problem still exists. I also installed github-markdown and it did not fix the problem.

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.4.2p198 (2017-09-14 revision 59899) [x86_64-darwin15]

$ gem -v
2.6.14

$ which ruby gem

$ gem list

And yet, when I load a *.md file with tables, the table is not rendered.

👍 Maybe open an improvement issue for that?

@lopopolo reports that the following snippet in config.rb can be used to activate tables even when using kramdown (so without github-markdown):

GitHub::Markup::Markdown::MARKDOWN_GEMS['kramdown'] = proc { |content|
  Kramdown::Document.new(content, :auto_ids => false).to_html
}
