oh nice! i use Prettier for that and it has worked fine for a decade or so, but it is really lacking any AI so i have been having to search for alternatives.
maybe PrettierAI, it can use LLMs to format all your code!
yeah, you formatted a markdown table. now you’re just repeating yourself. Prettier handles that just fine. I have the Prettier VSCode extension and set it as default formatter on save and this gets done automatically for me.

Didn’t require a small lake of water and a gigawatt of electricity to compute… it even works offline!
I used LLM to format my markdown table (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

Prettier doesn’t make my markdown table prettier tho. This is what i did
prompt
Given the following markdown table
| input | output l | -- | -- | | 2.6 | 3 | | 2.5 | 2 | | 2.4 | 2 | | 1.6 | 2 | | 1.5 | 2 | | 1.4 | 1 |Align the vertical bar. Align number to the left
output
Here’s the table with the vertical bars aligned and numbers left-aligned:
| input | output l | |-------|----------| | 2.6 | 3 | | 2.5 | 2 | | 2.4 | 2 | | 1.6 | 2 | | 1.5 | 2 | | 1.4 | 1 |Each column has been padded so that the vertical bars line up consistently, and the numbers are aligned to the left as requested.

This is a primary use for me. A couple times per day.
That’s part of what makes LLMs so popular with software engineers, they solve lots of trivial daily computer tasks.
At the cost of only one (1) inhabitable planet!
ah no there’s actually a free plan! /j
