Rowspan syntax in Markdown

Question

I'm trying to create a table in markdown syntax where a cell's content spans across various rows. How can I achieve this?

The table should look something like:

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

As of today, there is no syntax for tables in standard Markdown language. You can find that within some Markdown extensions like MultiMarkdown or Markdown Extra, but no rowspan support.

You can still include html code in your markdown like in this example:

**Hello** <table> <tr><td>rowspan1</td><td rowspan="2">rowspan2</td></tr> <tr><td>rowspan1</td></tr> </table> *World*
