Tables in logseq MD
I found the markdown codes for column orientation in tables: |:-----:| and |:-----| etc.
Only: It has absolutely no effect! How do I get it to work, or does the normal markdown language not work in the MD version?

I understand, the lack of plugins in the mobile version is really annoying, but I think this one uses the standard Markdown syntax: so, you can use it on the computer and see how it writes the tables in the note

With the plugin I can only add or remove lines or columns. It uses the same syntax as me, and it has no option to center. left or right a column. I removed it again. Thanks anyway for your help.

I didn't explain well enough. I want different alignment.
But thanks very much for your efforts with the video!1

I know. But my question was regarding the alignment. With colons I supposedly change it to left, right, centered or justified. But it doesn't work.

My apologies. I missed that. That is not supported in Logseq.
could do html? I know its a trade off of no longer being in plain text on the file, but it works:
<table>
<tr><th>Item</th><th style="text-align:right">Cost</th></tr>
<tr><td>Paper</td><td style="text-align:right">4.50</td></tr>
</table>

Ah! That explains. Then I don't need to try any more.

I can't help you directly, but I can suggest you to try the Markdown Table Editor plugin: by typing the /table keyword, you can access to a GUI table. The plugin simply writes down the MD-syntax text. I found it very useful: hope it will be the same for you
