Html2Markdown.TableConverter (html2markdown v0.3.0)
Handles conversion of HTML tables to Markdown format.
Converts HTML tables to GitHub Flavored Markdown tables with support for:
- Header detection (from
<th>
elements or<thead>
) - Complex table structures with
<thead>
and<tbody>
- Colspan handling (content repeated across columns)
- Empty cells and malformed tables
Examples
# Simple table
<table>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Age</th></tr>
<tr><td>Alice</td><td>30</td></tr>
</table>
# Converts to:
| Name | Age |
| --- | --- |
| Alice | 30 |
Implementation Notes
- Tables without headers still generate valid Markdown tables
- Empty cells are preserved as empty columns
- Malformed HTML is handled gracefully
