### A Graphical Interface for Building Tables

When you need to build a table, you can choose to insert one, and this component will open, allowing you to edit the content.

You can also edit the table content. When you save, this component will automatically save the table in Markdown format for you.

Editing existing tables is also very simple.

Select the table you need to edit, and click the Edit Table button on the table. This will bring up a table editor.

You can directly edit the table content in this editor.

As shown below, simply click the buttons in the editor.
