So I am working with an Rmd file which I later convert into and md file using the knitr package. The md file(not mine, just an example) starts with

I am interested in how the text between the hyphens at the top is parsed. I want it to look like a table below,

but instead when I wrap the text with three hyphens in my repos I get what is highlighted in green

I have no idea why or what is different in my repo. What I did notice is that if use the three hyphens wrap without using any code chunks in my md file, then I get the desired table. So, somehow the code chunks like that

\```css

code chunk

\```

mess up the three hyphens wrap being parsed as a table. Any ideas of how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

回答1:

It's not that github is parsing --- as a table delimiter, it is specifically parsing a yaml metadata block located at the top of the file (which uses --- as it's delimiters) as a table.

See here for the announcement.

回答2:

If you want a table, make a table

First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell

Try not to make table with YAML Front Matter, that will end in tears.
