Markdown Table Formatter

A markdown table's formatting often tends to go awry when there is a need to change the words in the headers which affects the width of columns. It is a laborious process to have to realign all the column content that fall underneath the changed header.

To solve this issue, use the Markdown Table Formatter extension to format markdown tables. This extension will format the 'basic markdown tables' such as the following:

| Food Item  | Items Bought |
|------------|--------------|
| Pineapples | 4            |
| Tomatoes   | 3            |

However, it does not work with Pandoc's grid table markdown output.

Linking Stylesheet in the Template

To use even a basic css library will cause some styles to be applied globally to the entire page, but you wish to localize the styling to just the web component which you are defining.

Importing the third party css library in the static style definition will not bring in the styles.

static styles = css`

// This won't work
@import 'bulma/css/bulma.css';

Customize the cherry-picked Commit Message

You are working on a branch focusing on a certain feature, but you end up adding in commit messages that are not presentable enough to be applied to your main branch. To fix this problem, you can rebase to squash the commits and then cherry-pick the changes onto the main branch.
