Function as_table 

pub fn as_table<T: MarkdownTableRow>(table: &[T]) -> String

Formats the input as a markdown-style table.

Takes a slice of items that implement MarkdownTableRow and returns a formatted markdown table as a string. If the input slice is empty, returns an empty string.

Column Width

Column widths are automatically calculated based on the maximum width of content in each column, including the header.

Special Characters

Pipe characters (|) in data are automatically escaped with a backslash (\|) to prevent breaking the table format.

Example

use markdown_tables::{MarkdownTableRow, as_table};

struct Task {
    id: u32,
    description: String,
    completed: bool,
}

impl MarkdownTableRow for Task {
    fn column_names() -> Vec<&'static str> {
        vec!["ID", "Description", "Status"]
    }

    fn column_values(&self) -> Vec<String> {
        vec![
            self.id.to_string(),
            self.description.clone(),
            if self.completed { "✓" } else { "✗" }.to_string(),
        ]
    }
}

let tasks = vec![
    Task { id: 1, description: "Write documentation".to_string(), completed: true },
    Task { id: 2, description: "Add tests".to_string(), completed: true },
    Task { id: 3, description: "Review PR | Deploy".to_string(), completed: false },
];

let table = as_table(&tasks);
println!("{}", table);
