There are a few ways to add a table. Here we’ll give a few examples.

This is a way to add a simple table table:

| Month    | Temperature |
| -------- | ----------- |
| January  | 5           |
| February | 2           |
| March    | 8           |

Result

Month

Temperature

January

5

February

2

March

8

You can allign columns using the : character like this:

| left | center | right |
| :--- | :----: | ----: |
| a    | b      | c     |

Result:

left

center

right

a

b

c

Ideally your table should have a caption and this is how you can add it:

:::{table} Table caption
:widths: auto
:align: center

| foo | bar |
| --- | --- |
| baz | bim |
:::

Result:

Table caption#

foo

bar

baz

bim

This is also a way to add table table:

:::{list-table} Population datasets
:widths: 10 10 15 15 15
:header-rows: 1
