But the spaces around | make it easier to read, than, say, CSV.
For now. I get the feeling we'll have tooling everywhere that does this soon.
I was recently tab-completing a Markdown table and whatever autocomplete model I had just fixed the table up without any intervention.
I think the root of the problem is, almost everything else you use in Markdown is easy to do by hand. There’s just no good syntax for tables like this, I guess.
It's the perfect format, more or less! CSV, but no difficulty around commas, and the only major risk being an editor that converts tabs to spaces
Especially in Zed where the only way to switch hard tabs is buried in the settings menu, and impossible to change per buffer.
Even vim lets you set that per-buffer so that's more of an editor problem than anything else, lmao
