# Markdown tables across page breaks in PDF

Columns align as the separator row says, cells hold math and links, and a long table repeats its header on every page it continues on. Elsewhere long tables often lose the header after the first page or split a row in half.

Column alignment via |:---:| separators, rich cells with math and links, numeric columns, and a header that repeats when a long table breaks across pages.

## Alignment and rich cells

| City | Time zone | Offset from UTC | Population (million) |
|:-----|:---------:|----------------:|---------------------:|
| São Paulo | America/Sao_Paulo | -03:00 | 12.3 |
| Lagos | Africa/Lagos | +01:00 | 15.4 |
| Berlin | Europe/Berlin | +01:00 / +02:00 | 3.7 |
| Mumbai | Asia/Kolkata | +05:30 | 20.7 |
| Tokyo | Asia/Tokyo | +09:00 | 13.9 |
| Sydney | Australia/Sydney | +10:00 / +11:00 | 5.3 |

Cells can be rich: **bold**, `code`, ~~struck~~, [links](https://example.com), emoji 🌍 and inline math like $E = mc^2$ or $\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414$.

| Quantity | Symbol | Formula | SI unit |
|:---------|:------:|:-------:|:--------|
| Kinetic energy | $E_k$ | $\tfrac{1}{2} m v^2$ | joule, J |
| Pressure | $p$ | $F / A$ | pascal, Pa |
| Power | $P$ | $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}W}{\mathrm{d}t}$ | watt, W |
| Charge | $Q$ | $\int I\,\mathrm{d}t$ | coulomb, C |

## A long table

Scroll to the second page of the output: the header row repeats above the rows that moved there.
