# `MD056` - Table column count
|
||
|
|

Tags: `table`

Aliases: `table-column-count`

This rule is triggered when a [GitHub Flavored Markdown table][gfm-table-056]
|
||
|
|
does not have the same number of cells in every row.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This table's second data row has too few cells and its third data row has too
|
||
|
|
many cells:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```markdown
|
||
|
|
| Header | Header |
|
||
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
||
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
||
|
|
| Cell |
|
||
|
|
| Cell | Cell | Cell |
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To fix these issues, ensure every row has the same number of cells:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```markdown
|
||
|
|
| Header | Header |
|
||
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
||
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
||
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
||
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that a table's header row and its delimiter row must have the same number
|
||
|
|
of cells or it will not be recognized as a table (per specification).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rationale: Extra cells in a row are usually not shown, so their data is lost.
|
||
|
|
Missing cells in a row create holes in the table and suggest an omission.
