Tables
Put rows and columns into a note, and fill them in a cell at a time.
Insert a table
- Click where the table should go.
- Click ⊕ in the editor bar and choose Table.
- Choose how many rows and columns it has.
Or choose Format ▸ Insert Table (⌥⌘T): it puts in a table of three rows and two columns straight away.
- Tap where the table should go.
- Tap ⊕ in the editor bar, then tap Table.
- Choose how many rows and columns it has.
You can also type /table at the head of a line or after a space, and choose Table from the menu. /tab and /grid find it too. The menu closes and asks for the table's size; if you cancel there, the note stays as it was.
Type a table in Markdown
A table can be typed the way Markdown writes one: a row of cells between | characters for the header, a row of dashes under it, then the rows — for example | Name | Room |, then | - | - |, then | Anna | 204 |, each on a line of its own.
The rows become a table when you press Return to leave the last of them. The row of dashes under the header is what makes it a table — a line that merely has a | in it stays text.
Plain text with a Markdown table in it, pasted or dragged in from another app, arrives as a table too.
Work with a table
A table is one item in the note, the way a picture is: you edit what is inside it one cell at a time, and it moves as a whole.
- Undo — ⌘Z, or the arrow in the editing bar, takes a table you have just inserted back out again.
- Move — on the iPhone and iPad, touch and hold the table and drag it to its new place; this works while you are writing too. The blue line shows where it will land.
- Templates — a note made from a template gets the template's tables.
