You desire a pretty table in your GitHub document:
Luckily, GitHub-flavored Markdown enables you to format data as a table:
| Step | Users | Conversion | Obstacles |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Viewed Home Page | 13,129 | 7.9% | Messaging |
| Viewed Sign Up Page | 1,044 | 20.6% | Cost, credit card |
| Signed Up | 215 | 31.2% | Credit card required |
| Entered Credit Card | 67 | 50.7% | HTML, deployment |
| Received Submission | 34 | | |
Over time, you edit this data in your favorite text editor, (Neo)vim. Keeping the Markdown table aligned could be painful, but doesn’t have to be.
Install vim-easy-align with a plugin manager such as vim-plug.
Plug 'junegunn/vim-easy-align'
Set a <Leader><Bslash> mapping in your vimrc:
" Align GitHub-flavored Markdown tables
au FileType markdown vmap <Leader><Bslash> :EasyAlign*<Bar><Enter>
The <Bslash> key is also the | key,
a mnemonic when looking at the |s of the table.
Here’s how it looks:
