## What is this?

This package is a micromark extension to add support for GFM tables.
It matches how tables work on `github.com`.

## When to use this

In many cases, when working with micromark, you’d want to use
[`micromark-extension-gfm`][micromark-extension-gfm] instead, which combines
this package with other GFM features.

When working with syntax trees, you’d want to combine this package with
[`mdast-util-gfm-table`][mdast-util-gfm-table] (or
[`mdast-util-gfm`][mdast-util-gfm] when using `micromark-extension-gfm`).

These tools are all rather low-level.
In most cases, you’d instead want to use [`remark-gfm`][remark-gfm] with
[remark][].

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install micromark-extension-gfm-table
```

In Deno with [Skypack][]:

```js
import {gfmTable, gfmTableHtml} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/micromark-extension-gfm-table@1?dts'
```

In browsers with [Skypack][]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {gfmTable, gfmTableHtml} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/micromark-extension-gfm-table@1?min'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {micromark} from 'micromark'
import {gfmTable, gfmTableHtml} from 'micromark-extension-gfm-table'

const output = micromark('| a |\n| - |', {
  extensions: [gfmTable],
  htmlExtensions: [gfmTableHtml]
})

console.log(output)
```

Yields:

```html
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>a</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
```

## API

This package exports the following identifiers: `gfmTable`, `gfmTableHtml`.
There is no default export.

The export map supports the endorsed
[`development` condition](https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_resolving_user_conditions).
Run `node --conditions development module.js` to get instrumented dev code.
Without this condition, production code is loaded.

### `gfmTable`

An extension for micromark to parse GFM tables (can be passed in `extensions`).

### `gfmTableHtml`

An extension to compile them to HTML (can be passed in `htmlExtensions`).

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
There are no additional exported types.

## Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js.
As of now, that is Node.js 12.20+, 14.14+, and 16.0+.
It also works in Deno and modern browsers.

## Security

This package is safe.
