Yep, that’s exactly the problem I had with markdown tables in glide. It doesn’t render them very well. If it spanned the entire width of the screen it wouldn’t be so bad, but it smashes everything together, and no amount of extra empty characters could make it look nice in my case. I have a lot of variable text lengths, so I need my cells to float and adapt to fill the screen appropriately. You can try padding with empty characters, but it won’t be a great result. > [@Markup table](https://community.glideapps.com/t/markup-table/43986/2): > > I’ve seen other markdown engines do a better job of rendering the table, but when I dabbled with it a few years ago, I could never get it to look satisfactory in glide. All the data was smashed together and didn’t fill the width of the screen. I also couldn’t modify the cell margins and padding, and couldn’t double stack two table rows within a single table row. > **[Empty Characters, Whitespaces & Blank Unicode Characters](https://www.emptycharacter.com/)** > > Empty Characters, Whitespaces & Blank Unicode Characters --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/does-anyone-have-any-examples-of-using-markdown-in-a-template-column/44008)._
