Making wide Markdown tables editable in Notepad++

Описание и применение

Плагин Markdown Table Editor для Notepad++ упрощает редактирование широких таблиц Markdown, автоматически обрабатывая выравнивание, экранированные символы, Юникод и возможность «сжимать» таблицы под ширину окна редактора.

Задача

Editing wide Markdown tables in plain text editors is tedious; manual edits often break alignment, escape characters, and Unicode handling, especially for tables pasted from CSV/TSV or generated output.

Результат

The plugin streamlines table editing in Notepad++, reducing manual formatting effort, preserving alignment markers, correctly handling escaped pipes and Unicode, and enabling reversible fitting of wide tables.

Рабочий процесс

• Open a Markdown file in Notepad++
• Place the caret inside a Markdown table
• Open Plugins > Markdown Table Editor
• Choose an operation: align, move cells, sort, convert CSV/TSV, or fit table
• If fitting, the plugin rewrites long cells into continuation rows within the visible width
• When the editor width changes, the plugin can rejoin continuation rows back into the original table

Доказательства

The plugin can: align a table once or keep it aligned after edits; move between cells and insert, delete, or reorder rows and columns; sort body rows by the current column; convert the selected CSV/TSV text, or the CSV/TSV block around the caret, into a Markdown table; fit a wide table to the visible editor width.

Источник

The width algorithm has to balance several constraints: ... Wrap cell contents at word boundaries and split a long token only when it cannot fit any other way.
