A Sphinx extension for rendering markdown tables.

Sphinx supports markdown via Recommonmark, which does not support tables. This extension provides them.

It renders markdown tables as HTML, as defined by python-markdown

Installation

pip install sphinx-markdown-tables

Usage

Add sphinx_markdown_tables to extensions in conf.py, like so:

extensions = [
    'sphinx_markdown_tables',
]

Sphinx needs to be configured to use markdown. First, you need recommonmark:

pip install recommonmark

In conf.py, configure source_parsers and source_suffix:

source_parsers = {
    '.md': 'recommonmark.parser.CommonMarkParser',
}
source_suffix = ['.rst', '.md']

Once Sphinx is configured appropriately, add sphinx_markdown_tables to extensions, like so:

extensions = [
    'sphinx_markdown_tables',
]
