Depending where you use it, but often tables are available in markdown.
Fixed..cos you could only see rendered and not code.
Oh. Good one. Markdown everywhere. Slack always pissed me off for it's sub par markdown support.
There is an option in the settings to use markdown formatting. I haven't tried it but I guess it at least makes formatting less annoying.
It's a (small, shitty) subset of markdown. Slack formatting just kind of sucks.
I fixed it for you (markdown tables support padding to make them easy to read):
deleted by creator, who realised their misunderstanding
Markdown tables are terrible though. Try and put a code block in there. Adoc tables are amazing on the other hand, but much more verbose to write.
I'd argue this syntax is difficult to read, especially as it scales
The syntax is only difficult to read in their example.
