A super basic question: why is the following not rendering in Markdown - which happens to be in a jupyter notebook
Raw code
### Results | --- | --- | --- | | Stretch/Untouched | ProbDistribution | Accuracy | | --- | --- | --- | | Stretched | Gaussian | .843 | Code as it looks in jupyter in edit mode
Rendering in jupyter
So the table did not render properly
Update I did some twiddling and now it renders.. but still uncertain why the original code did not work

Tables. To add a table, use three or more hyphens ( --- ) to create each column's header, and use pipes ( | ) to separate each column. For compatibility, you should also add a pipe on either end of the row. Cell widths can vary, as shown below.
You can change the cell type of any cell in Jupyter Notebook using the Toolbar. The default cell type is Code. To use the Keyboard Shortcuts, hit the esc key. After that, you can change a cell to Markdown by hitting the m key, or you can change a cell to Code by hitting the y key.
Text can be added to Jupyter Notebooks using Markdown cells. You can change the cell type to Markdown by using the Cell menu, the toolbar, or the key shortcut m. Markdown is a popular markup language that is a superset of HTML.
The first row of the table defines the headers, then the next row defines the alignment of each column. You duplicated the alignment at the top of the table and where it's actually supposed to go.
The right Markdown should simply be what you have in your syntax, but remove the first row:
| Stretch/Untouched | ProbDistribution | Accuracy | | --- | --- | --- | | Stretched | Gaussian | .843 | The --- in between the column definitions | | mean that the column is unjustified. In standard Markdown, this would align to the left of the column but in Jupyter notebook, it appears to align to the right instead.
With that, I get this table:
If you'd like to left align or centre align, you can use :- and :-: respectively. Depending on what Jupyter notebook environment you're using, you will need to use -: to right align.
| Stretch/Untouched | ProbDistribution | Accuracy | | :- | -: | :-: | | Stretched | Gaussian | .843 The first column will be left-aligned, the centre column is right-aligned and the last column is centre aligned. Interestingly using Google Colab, --- left aligns the text:
Is the alignment not working as expected in your Jupyter notebook?
This section is now outdated - the alignment should work as of this date (February 9th, 2022). See the edit below.
The alignment syntax that I've mentioned above, unfortunately, does not work as of this date (June 25th, 2020) when using local installations of the Jupyter notebook environment. This is because of a bug in the Jupyter source where the Markdown alignment is not taken into account and all of the text is right-aligned. See the Github issue here: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/3919. However, it does work using jupyterlab as well as on Google Colab.
Jupyter notebook versions from 6.0.0 onwards should contain the fix. If the alignment isn't working, please ensure that you upgrade your version of Jupyter notebook and try again.
pip install --upgrade notebook Even though this question has been answered, still dropping this here - it may help someone else. I too was not able to render tables in jupyter notebook.
Example:
| | Sentence # | Word | POS | Tag | |---:|:-------------|:-----------|:------|:------| | 1 | Sentence: 1 | They | PRP | O | | 2 | Sentence: 1 | marched | VBD | O | Output:
| | Sentence # | Word | POS | Tag | |---:|:-------------|:-----------|:------|:------| | 1 | Sentence: 1 | They | PRP | O | | 2 | Sentence: 1 | marched | VBD | O | I was not able to figure out why this was happening but for some strange reason when I enter text in the first cell of first row, it was rendering fine. So here I entered Sno. in the very first cell and it's working fine.
