What I did: I pasted a markdown table from Obsidian.
What happened: The text of the table shows up in Agenda.
What I expected: Agenda would render the markdown table as a table.
Things that might be helpful to know (Agenda version, OS and model, etc): Agenda 14 (whatever just came out) on an MacBook M1 with the newest OS.
Thanks,
Timothy
We don’t yet support markdown syntax for creating tables, something we hope to add at some point.
wondering if there is an update here?
No yet, sorry. Table improvements are certainly a project we want to undertake. High on the list…
I’d add another vote for this. Markdown import of table very critical for me.
I did add markdown export of tables in our last update. Will see what we can do with import. Note that you an paste HTML tables, so if you have an option for that, it might work.
I do have that option except when I paste the HTML code it just keeps it as HTML code. What am I missing?
@drewmccormack i tired the copy table and paste it, but found it had some issue for the table with blank blocks.
Ah, yes, blank cells could be a problem. Even a simple space would probably help.
Will try to fix that.
Another vote for table markdown support mainly because the output from LLM software and api’s is usually in markdown for tables.
Good point! It’s on the list.
OK, I’ve added markdown table imports and pasting. Will be in the next version the coming days.
Thanks for the feedback!
That’s great! Timely as well since will also be able to try it out with the Notes app markdown export feature in the various Apple OS 26 beta’s.
Any update on this? I had Claude create a Markdown table, and then I pasted it into Agenda, but it did not render correctly. I was able to have it create an RTF file and then import it, but I’d prefer a Markdown import.
Hmm, it should work. What version of Agenda are you running? And could you paste the markdown text here so I can take a look? It’s possible the format Claude generated doesn’t quite match what we expect.
In general, the table needs a header row followed by a separator line like | --- | --- |, and then the data rows. If any of that is missing, it won’t render as a table.
We did just fix an issue with export where the separator was not being added. Will be in the next release.
It is working now. Maybe claude was having a bad day. I’m going to do a bit more experimenting and let you know if anything changes. I am running Version 22.2.1 (389)
Glad it worked out! Let us know if we can help with anything.
