Hi,

Sorry for the ignorance here, I did some research by looking at the tests, the related issues and I could not find how to "generate" markdown rather than parsing it and converting it to HTML.

For example, I have some POCOs, like below, and I would like to convert those POCOs to markdown. Is markdig the right tool for purpose?

public class Product
{
    public string Category { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public decimal Price { get; set; }
}

| Category | Name | Price |
| ------------- | ------------- | ------------- |
| Computer | ThinkPad X1 Carbon | 2999.99  |
| Mobile Phone | iPhone 15 Pro Max | 1899.99  |

Thanks,
Wilson

We don't support such scenario. The intermediate Markdown AST could be built manually to output such thing... but It has never been designed with such a goal and so, it would be very cumbersome to use it as is.
