Support tables in Markdown

[erquhart]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Tables are a common requirement for markdown documents, but the WYSIWYG interface of the markdown widget doesn't support them.

Describe the solution you'd like

To create markdown tables visually in the Markdown Widget.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Creating them manually with raw markdown, this won't work for most users.

Additional context

Related to #1962

Any idea when this will be worked on?

Support for mobile and support for tables in markdown will make this the best CMS for my jekyll blog.

Agree - would love to see additional support for tables in Netlify CMS. I’m not accomplished enough (yet) to contribute, but definitely want to “vote” for this one

That is the most wanted feature our Market team has been asking for our blog, We deploy quite a large amount of guides and information about finances, and tables are essential.

Pretty much all clients end up wanting this feature in the CMS

This is a must have feature. Any updates on this?

Hi @esculturajerome, the CMS is a community driven project so the best way to move this forward is via a contribution.

Kindly update Tables in CMS. It is a big need

Until it's done, you may want to use this generator: https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables

Vscode also comes with many extensions to generate and manage Markdown tables: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=vscode+extension+markdown+table&ia=web

I solved this for myself by wrapping a better markdown editor as a widget, which I've published to NPM here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/netlify-cms-widget-markdown-toast-ui

Feel free to contribute improvements.

On the CMS side, I needed to build the CMS with Webpack in order to register this widget instead of using the CDN url.

Can you please provide the sample using the netlify-cms-widget-markdown-toast-ui widget?
