# `MD058` - Tables should be surrounded by blank lines
|
|
|
|
Tags: `table`
|
|
|
|
Aliases: `blanks-around-tables`
|
|
|
|
Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling
|
|
|
|
This rule is triggered when tables are either not preceded or not followed by a
|
|
blank line:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Some text
|
|
| Header | Header |
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
|
> Blockquote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To fix violations of this rule, ensure that all tables have a blank line both
|
|
before and after (except when the table is at the very beginning or end of the
|
|
document):
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
Some text
|
|
|
|
| Header | Header |
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
|
|
|
> Blockquote
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that text immediately following a table (i.e., not separated by an empty
|
|
line) is treated as part of the table (per the specification) and will not
|
|
trigger this rule:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
| Header | Header |
|
|
| ------ | ------ |
|
|
| Cell | Cell |
|
|
This text is part of the table and the next line is blank
|
|
|
|
Some text
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Rationale: In addition to aesthetic reasons, some parsers will incorrectly parse
|
|
tables that don't have blank lines before and after them.
