I'm a little bit reluctant for us to write and maintain more and more format styles, especially one as subjective and varied as markdown. I imagine we will constantly be bombarded with "this isn't quite right" or "this isn't compatible with github". What I personally use is the excellent pandoc tool (https://pandoc.org/) which can convert formats we already output into a multitude of other formats. psql -qHc "values (E'hello\nworld', 42), ('single line', 5), ('another', null)" | pandoc -f html -t markdown ----------------------- column1 column2 ------------- --------- hello\ 42 world single line 5 another ----------------------- (3 rows)\ This handles both column alignment and the multiline issue Daniel raised. -- Vik Fearing +33 6 46 75 15 36 http://2ndQuadrant.fr PostgreSQL : Expertise, Formation et Support
