Table Formatting

Markdown <a href="http://www.bixiaguangnian.com/manual/markdown/4115.html">tables</a> are notoriously finicky. You can’t use many Markdown syntax elements to format the text in table cells. But there are workarounds for at least two common table issues: Line breaks and lists.

## Line Breaks Within Table Cells

You can separate paragraphs within a table cell by using one or more <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> HTML tags.

```markdown
| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title |
| Paragraph   | First paragraph. <br><br> Second paragraph. |
```

The rendered output looks like this:

| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title |
| Paragraph   | First paragraph. <br><br> Second paragraph. |

## Lists Within Table Cells

You can add a list within a table cell by using HTML tags.

```markdown
| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title |
| List        | Here's a list! <ul><li>Item one.</li><li>Item two.</li></ul> |
```

The rendered output looks like this:

| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title |
| List        | Here's a list! <ul><li>Item one.</li><li>Item two.</li></ul> |
