ASCII tables allow you to represent tabular data where only text is supported. This way, you can represent a table in documents where you cannot draw or import a conventional table. For this reason, we are going to present you with five websites for generating ASCII tables to insert them where you need them. The online platforms we will mention offer different ways to generate an ASCII table and also allow you to take a regular table and convert it to an ASCII table.
Toolbox (Mitrotti.net)
We'll start with Toolbox (Mitrotti.net), which offers tools for generating tables: Hex to IP, GCI, Text Table, Auto Hotkey Script, and so on. With the text tool, you can design rows and columns to enter your data, choosing the number of rows and columns independently for your tables. Once you finish the design, you just need to click Generate Table, and from a pop-up window you can create an ASCII table and copy it to paste it anywhere.
Tables Generator
As its name suggests, Tables Generator is a website for generating tables (LaTeX Tables, Markdown Tables, Text Tables, HTML Tables, and MediaWiki Tables). To create ASCII tables, you'll need to select the “Text Table Generator tool”. With this tool, you can add, delete rows and columns, and set text alignment. When you're done, click Generate to copy the ASCII table to the clipboard.
ASCII-Tables (Ozh)
ASCII-Tables (Ozh) is an open-source project that lets you create ASCII tables alongside HTML and Wikimedia tables from its website. Thanks to its Tab option, you don't need to specify the number of rows and columns; after designing them, you just click Auto-Format and then Create to generate the ASCII table.
Senseful
With Senseful, you can generate MySQL tables (ASCII), Unicode Art, and HTML tables. To generate the tables, you'll need to enter the data into the input fields (separating columns with commas and rows with new lines). When you're done, you can copy it to the clipboard to paste it wherever you want.
ASCII Flow
We'll finish with ASCII Flow, a great online platform for generating ASCII tables. The environment includes tools for drawing boxes, connection lines, arrow lines, and a freehand drawing tool. This way, you can draw ASCII tables with the number of rows and columns you need.
With these five online platforms for generating ASCII tables, you'll be able to get the code of the created table to insert it wherever you want.
