Advanced HTML Table Layouts in GitHub Markdown (2 & 3 Columns)

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) allows a subset of HTML table tags. Learn how to leverage HTML table alignment, column widths, and nested structures to build responsive multi-column profile layouts.

Supported HTML Tags in GitHub Markdown

GitHub's HTML sanitizer strips inline CSS style tags, class names, and JavaScript. However, it permits standard table attributes:

  • align="left|center|right" — Align text or images within a cell.
  • width="50%" — Set relative column widths so cells scale across viewports.
  • valign="top|middle|bottom" — Vertically align content within a cell.
  • border="0" — Remove visible borders for clean grid designs.

2-Column Layout Example

<table border="0"> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="top"> <h3>🚀 Bio</h3> <p>Full-stack developer building developer tools.</p> </td> <td width="50%" valign="top"> <h3>⚡ Stats</h3> <img src="stats-card-url" width="100%" /> </td> </tr> </table>
