pub struct TableUtils;

Shared table detection utilities

Implementations

impl TableUtils

pub fn is_potential_table_row(line: &str) -> bool

Check if a line looks like a potential table row

pub fn is_delimiter_row(line: &str) -> bool

Check if a line is a table delimiter row (e.g., |—|—|)

pub fn find_table_blocks_with_code_info( content: &str, code_blocks: &[(usize, usize)], code_spans: &[CodeSpan], html_comment_ranges: &[ByteRange], ) -> Vec<TableBlock>

Find all table blocks in the content with optimized detection This version accepts code_blocks and code_spans directly for use during LintContext construction

pub fn find_table_blocks( content: &str, ctx: &LintContext<'_>, ) -> Vec<TableBlock>

Find all table blocks in the content with optimized detection This is a backward-compatible wrapper that accepts LintContext

pub fn count_cells(row: &str) -> usize

Count the number of cells in a table row

pub fn count_cells_with_flavor(row: &str, flavor: MarkdownFlavor) -> usize

Count the number of cells in a table row with flavor-specific behavior

For Standard/GFM flavor, pipes in inline code ARE cell delimiters (matches GitHub). For MkDocs flavor, pipes in inline code are NOT cell delimiters.

pub fn mask_pipes_in_inline_code(text: &str) -> String

Mask pipes inside inline code blocks with a placeholder character

pub fn escape_pipes_in_inline_code(text: &str) -> String

Escape pipes inside inline code blocks with backslash. Converts | to \| inside backtick spans. Used by auto-fix to preserve content while making tables valid.

pub fn mask_pipes_for_table_parsing(text: &str) -> String

Mask escaped pipes for accurate table cell parsing

In GFM tables, escape handling happens BEFORE cell boundary detection:

• \| → escaped pipe → masked (stays as cell content)
• \\| → escaped backslash + pipe → NOT masked (pipe is a delimiter)

IMPORTANT: Inline code spans do NOT protect pipes in GFM tables! The pipe in `a | b` still acts as a cell delimiter, splitting into two cells: `a and b ``. This matches GitHub’s actual rendering.

To include a literal pipe in a table cell (even in code), you must escape it: `a \| b` → single cell containing a | b (with code formatting)

pub fn split_table_row_with_flavor( row: &str, flavor: MarkdownFlavor, ) -> Vec<String>

Split a table row into individual cell contents with flavor-specific behavior.

Returns a Vec of cell content strings (not trimmed - preserves original spacing). This is the foundation for both cell counting and cell content extraction.

For Standard/GFM flavor, pipes in inline code ARE cell delimiters (matches GitHub). For MkDocs flavor, pipes in inline code are NOT cell delimiters.

pub fn split_table_row(row: &str) -> Vec<String>

Split a table row into individual cell contents using Standard/GFM behavior.

pub fn determine_pipe_style(line: &str) -> Option<&'static str>

Determine the pipe style of a table row
