Typora is the only application which appears on both lists. This is because Typora is both a great table creator/manager (won that category) and a first rate single pane editor (won that subcategory). TableFlip seems useful with tables at first glance. You can import Markdown tables from the clipboard. I didn’t see a tool to automatically convert the table to HTML. It’s possible to work on a really wide table in TableFlip like a spreadsheet. What TableFlip is missing though is a way to copy and paste whole rows. I wanted to reorder the table attached to this document.

Tableflip didn’t let me do it: you can only copy one cell at a time. To do what I want to do you have to open your table in a text editor like BBEdit and do your copy and pasting of rows there with preview in TableFlip. This makes TableFlip only marginally more useful than Marked 2. It gives you awkward access to two sets of tools. TableFlip does not allow you to move columns either. I hope you designed your table right the first time, as BBEdit can’t help you move columns either. I would specifically like to swap the Strikeout and Footnotes columns and have no way to do so.Īt the current price point of $19 I’d expect to at least be able to drag and drop reorder rows in TableFlip.
#BBEDIT AUTO TAB PLUS#
Typora plus BBEdit plus Marked 2 doesn’t sound any worse. TableFlip does handle multiple tables in document very well, putting them into multiple tabs and ignoring the non-tabular data. Typora is a full-fledged editor (and I’ll review that aspect in context below) but Typora is the only other tool with a really good table creator and editor, in some ways better than even TableFlip. Certainly, the Typora table editor is prettier. At all times, you can add rows and columns and while in preview mode change column alignment. It’s nearly impossible to move rows around though.
#BBEDIT AUTO TAB CODE#
You need to open your document in BBEdit, TextWrangler or some other code editor to effectively move rows.
