Your number of columns should match up. If you have four columns you should use :---|:---|:---|:--- ..if you have five use :---|:---|:---|:---|:--- etc, etc

edit: I debugged using a different tables source. If this does not fix your problem and your tables are using the correct syntax, please let me know.

I was actually referring to the header labels (which TIL about). It seems it becomes messed up when you leave them blank.

i.e.

`||`

`:---|:--:|---:`

`Left-justified|center-justified|right-justified`

`a|b|c`

`d|e|f`

(EDIT: reddit didn't want to make this code with four spaces for some reason. Had to use `)

becomes:

┌────────────────┬──────────────────┬─────────────────┐
│                │                  │                 │
╞════════════════╪══════════════════╪═════════════════╡
│ Left-justified │ center-justified │ right-justified │
├────────────────┼──────────────────┼─────────────────┤
│ a              │        b         │               c │
├────────────────┼──────────────────┼─────────────────┤
│ d              │        e         │               f │
└────────────────┴──────────────────┴─────────────────┘

While:

||||
:---|:--:|---:
Left-justified|center-justified|right-justified
a|b|c
d|e|f

Becomes:

┌──┬──┬──┬──┬──┐
│  │  │  │  │  │
╞══╪══╪══╪══╪══╡
└──┴──┴──┴──┴──┘
