library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

A Prettier plugin that automatically formats tables in Markdown files by adjusting column widths and ensuring alignment. Version 1.0.3, released in 2024, requires Prettier ^3.3.2 and linguist-languages ^7.27.0. Unlike general prettier plugins, this focuses solely on Markdown tables, providing consistent formatting for tables with long content. It is a simple, single-purpose plugin without alternative table formatting tools in the npm ecosystem.
