content.</p>
<p>So MMD is sort of sticking with "minimalist" formatting.</p>
<p>Composer's table handling is designed around people who want
tables that look like tables. Hitting tab inserts tab and a pipe.
Columns line up. Autoformatting keeps things consistent.</p>
<p>In this case, it's just trying to stay out of your way.</p>

<p>Lack of spaces happens when I use Stackedit on a Chromebook to
edit the<br>
files. I was in a habit of using MMC to Clean Up the tables
afterwards but<br>
when I get busy the Clean Up is put off.</p>
<p>I like how MMC formats the tables bcs they are readable without
using<br>
Preview. I know an iOS version of MMC is in the works but if you
have a<br>
better mobile solution than Stackedit in the meantime, please let
me know.</p>

<p>I find that the tables are <em>much</em> easier to read in MMDC,
and they don't require monospaced fonts (though you can if you
like.) After doing this for MMD 1, I discovered elastic tabstops
and found that they are great for just about anything.</p>
<p>If you've never read this, it's worth a minute:</p>

<p>PS> The cleanup table command will now (3.0b18) also insert
the leading space after a pipe if you left it out (e.g.
<code>|foo</code> -> <code>| foo</code>). This will make this
even easier.</p>
