Trello – Can a Card Display a Table?

markdowntrello

The markdown syntax says that you can use regular HTML and specifically mentions <table> as being possible. The only restrictions being that you have blank lines before and after the table, and that the <table> and </table> tags are not indented.

But this doesn't appear to work in Trello.

Is this just not supported, or is there a way to do this that I'm missing?

There are two common ways to render tables inside markdown content:

By embedding HTML using <table> <tr> <td> tags
Using special table syntax, which is not an official part of the markdown spec, but is supported in certain libraries including Github Flavoured Markdown (GFM)

Unfortunately the markdown library used by Trello doesn't support either of these options - so no tables in Trello for the time being.

As others have partly mentioned, the imperfect workarounds are:

Fake tables by using a code block
Upload/embed an image that displays your table
Link to a Google Doc/Spreadsheet or some other URL
