markdown-it-scrolltable

A markdown-it plugin to wrap tables into a <div> for horizontal scrolling on narrow screens.

Examples

The following markdown table

Column | Column
------ | ------
Cell   | Cell  

will become

<div class="scroll-table" style="overflow-x:auto">
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Column</th>
                <th>Column</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Cell</td>
                <td>Cell</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

Also, html in your markdown, like for example

<table>
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Column</th>
            <th>Column</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>Cell</td>
            <td>Cell</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

will be transformed into

<div class="scroll-table" style="overflow-x:auto">
    <table>
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th>Column</th>
                <th>Column</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>Cell</td>
                <td>Cell</td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

        html: true,
