The markdown used by joplin is this one

Colons can be used to align columns.

| Tables        | Are           | Cool  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is      | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is      | centered      |   $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat      |    $1 |

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the 
raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Markdown | Less | Pretty
--- | --- | ---
*Still* | `renders` | **nicely**
1 | 2 | 3

How to add color in a table header in Android version, anyone will explain????

@MirzaAmmar welcome to the forum.

You can use HTML to change the colour of table elements on a per note basis. The below screenshot shows HTML to change the header text colour. The below picture is of the desktop version but it displays on mobile as well.

By the way, in future if you have a question that is only slightly related to a very old post it is probably better to ask a new question in a new post than ressurect the old post.

How can I create an empty table?

I find if I want to start typing out the vertical pipes and dashes manually, the font of the pipe on iOS is not the same as in the markdown template that you can copy and paste. When I type out the vertical pipe and dashes, it will just show literally that - pipes and dashes and not a table. If I copy and paste the markdown shown in this post then it works. Does anyone know why I can’t manually type out the items needed to draw a table?

Could this be related to auto-correct? (Is iOS replacing -- with ?)

Not a confusion between - and _ ?

I know it's not your question but in case...
Left part : markdown editor Right part : viewer
Not enough caracters in the editor : nothing happen in the viewer

At one moment there's enough caracters in the editor and the viewer "understand" it's a table.


So: the conversion is not immediate: enough caracters are waited.
