+1 Here as well
Tables would be such a great addition in Agenda and would make a huge difference.

Itās a bit surprising to me Agenda doesnāt support table at this time. Iād even be happy with the ability to have ātablesā in the sense that I can use the Tab key to indent text.
Tables: Yes Please 
Just to throw this back inā¦
Using the recommonmark lib and rendering markdown would solve tables, highlighting, and code fences in one changeā¦ I like what you guys are doing here, and I would like to support it more, but the use case isnāt there. I know youāre in danger of trying to be everything to everyone, but youāre going to have to make a call with tables. Itās pretty basic.
Even the forum software

how did you get Markdown tables to work in Agenda? i love the SW but tables has become a must-have.
That was my pointā¦
This forum software allows for tables, but Agenda-the-software does not.
Code fences work also, but those aren't supported either.
Itās my personal opinion that while the app can still store things in JSON for all the āgood reasonsā it should, but that the display could be handled through a combination of reccommonmark and strict css, solving some of the issues here.
Standard .md files canāt be well integrated the way that Agenda works, but those benefits seem highly outweighed when compared to what is given up with things like simple markdown tables and code fences not being available. Iām sure itās being handled, looked at, etc., and I know itās a tough decision for the devs. But I thought by now that Agenda would have parity with GFM, but I canāt use it until it does.
I would like tables as well
The Agenda internal format is not markdown or HTML. This approach would work fine for a markdown editor, but Agendaās format is much more involved.
So we could use a library to convert markdown, but to what? Our internal format doesnāt support tables, so the library could not create a table. This would only work with some web based editor (HTML), and we arenāt using that.
Iām not sure what to. Iām not a developer, and Iāll state that here and now. But what I have seen is something like Quiver that handles it nicely, and stores in JSON. (Quiver is also prone to data loss, so Iām definitely not suggesting it as an alternative.) Someone has figured it out at https://tableconvert.com as well. Evernote, etc.
Of course, the key is that whatever you do to take JSON into whatever format youāre outputting has to support that process. Clearly, you know that, and youāre saying that whatever your backend does isnāt currently supporting it. I know itās also not easy; even Azure DevOps is currently not a great implementation.
I donāt know what to tell you guys, but itās currently a big issue. I truly wish you good luck on this, and I hope you figure something out.
There is not much to tell. We know what needs to be done to support tables, but it is not something we can just throw together in a day or two. Probably at least a few weeks work or more, and it just hasnāt got to the top of the todo list just yet. It will get there sooner or later. It is a priority.

Thanks Drew.
If you need just one more vote for tables support, here is mine 
One more vote for tables!
+1 for tables, embedded checklists and numberered list.
I would like to replace a todo list app with agenda and just reply on calendar app and agenda app
+1 for tables ā¦ pretty please
Table functionality = me going premium.
+1 Tables ā¦please !!
Fundamentally, I see Agenda as a note taking application but it really is missing some core functionality as a piece of software to take notes. Table support is a fundamental requirement. Engineers, Scientists, Developers use tables all the time. Personally I need to keep medication information in a table. I am āsort ofā working around not having tables but its not great.
I understand that development capacity is limited and its good to see other features are being added such as reminders integration but I believe that something as core as being able to take notes in a tabular format should be addressed sooner rather than later. Iām afraid that until tables has been introduced I need to use another app and therefore I wonāt being renewing my premium features membership. I wish the Agenda team well and I will keep an eye on development but for me its a show stopper

Is table support working its way up the priority list with any urgency? I love, Love, LOVE Agenda; but making all my tables in Number/Excel, screenshotting them and adding them to Agenda is a PITA and a time killer; but tables must be usedā¦
