    Hi I have paragraph block (wordpress gutenberg editor), when I type the content in paragraph block then it should be converted to table immediately. row delimiter is semi colon or new line and column delimiter is colon.

    For ex:

    Song Title: Mehfil Mein Baar Baar
    Movie: Soldier
    Singer(s): Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik
    Lyircs: Sameer
    Music: Anu Malik

    The above content when i entered in wordpress post it should be formatted to table with 2 columns 5 rows immediately. is there php function or javascript function code available? It will reduce my time in posts creation.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks

    You could likely use one for the markdown plugins. However you’d need to use markdown table syntax, you couldn’t get a table from just using a colon as a separator.

    It’s feasible to develop custom code to make a table just from a colon separator, but you risk having unintended consequences of converting other uses of a colon that should not be made into a table. Markdown syntax is more distinctive and less likely to be seen in normal content.

    Aside from tables, markdown gives you all sorts of convenient formatting opportunities that once learned, is generally faster to implement than picking equivalent formatting from toolbars and such. For example: *italicized text* markdown. No need to stray from the keyboard to use a mouse to highlight text and pick the i toolbar button. Just type the asterisks and keep on typing.
