Continuous Integration

You can automatically check markdown tables formatting and fix it using MegaLinter, that embeds markdown-table-formatter out of the box

Ignoring Code Blocks

You may wish to ignore specific markdown content, especially when using with Megalinter or terraform-docs

To achieve this, place tags <!-- markdown-table-prettify-ignore-start --> and <!-- markdown-table-prettify-ignore-end --> around the content you want markdown-table-formatter to ignore.
