    Thanks! I’ll bookmark that tool for later and give it a try.

    Usually I do okay-ish typing them in directly, sometimes I use the table template button the app to get started, but when putting in long text like image links, it gets ugly fast and stuff starts to break.

    I generally create it from scratch in a separate text editor

    That’s what I do, and turning off word wrap helps a lot.

      when putting in long text like image links, it gets ugly fast and stuff starts to break.

      In that case, I think that tool should prove very helpful. Starting off in a spreadsheet program like Excel is great for keeping things neat/tidy/readable, then you would use that tool to convert to markdown when you are finished and ready to post the table to Lemmy.

      That is sort of how I manage my GIF todo list and the markdown list that I publish on Codeberg. I have a LibreOffice Calc spreadsheet that I use as my todo list, adding new ideas to it as they come to my attention and then marking them off as I complete them. Then, when I am done for the day, I have a custom Python script that I run that reads all the cells in the spreadsheet, rearranges things a bit, and outputs it as a markdown table into the file you see on Codeberg.

      EDIT: @ptz@dubvee.org could possibly even build that functionality right into Tesseract, allowing you to copy from Excel and paste directly into a Tesseract textbox as a markdown table.

        I think my main use-case would be a 2x4 (or 2x6 or 2x8) table with images and captions so I don’t have to use an image editor to make custom scenes. Basically I wanna take some of your gifs and mash them together into something like a 4-panel comic / scene.

        Oh that would be cool. I’ll ask!
