Table Image

# Table Image Skill

Render markdown tables as PNG images for messaging platforms that don't support markdown tables.

Prerequisites

Install tablesnap:

```bash go install github.com/joargp/tablesnap/cmd/tablesnap@latest ```

Or build from source: ```bash git clone https://github.com/joargp/tablesnap.git cd tablesnap go build -o tablesnap ./cmd/tablesnap ```

Usage

```bash echo "| Header 1 | Header 2 | |----------|----------| | Data 1 | Data 2 |" | tablesnap -o /tmp/table.png ```

Then send with `MEDIA:/tmp/table.png`

Options

| Flag | Default | Description | |------|---------|-------------| | `-i` | stdin | Input file | | `-o` | stdout | Output file | | `--theme` | dark | Theme: `dark` or `light` | | `--font-size` | 14 | Font size in pixels | | `--padding` | 10 | Cell padding in pixels |

Emoji Support

Bundled (work out of the box): ✅ ❌ 🔴 🟢 🟡 ⭕ ⚠️

Full emoji (one-time download): ```bash tablesnap emojis install ```

Unsupported emoji render as □ until full set is installed.

Example Workflow

```bash # Create table image echo "| Task | Status | |------|--------| | Build | ✅ | | Deploy | 🚀 |" | tablesnap -o /tmp/table.png

# Send in reply MEDIA:/tmp/table.png ```

Notes

• Dark theme by default (matches Telegram/Discord dark mode)
• Auto-sizes to fit content
• Output ~10-20KB (messaging-friendly)
• Cross-platform (Inter font embedded)
