      This is a primary use for me. A couple times per day.

      That’s part of what makes LLMs so popular with software engineers, they solve lots of trivial daily computer tasks.

      oh nice! i use Prettier for that and it has worked fine for a decade or so, but it is really lacking any AI so i have been having to search for alternatives.

      maybe PrettierAI, it can use LLMs to format all your code!

        Prettier doesn’t make my markdown table prettier tho. This is what i did

        prompt

        Given the following markdown table

        | input | output l
        | -- | -- |
        | 2.6 | 3 |
        | 2.5 | 2 |
        | 2.4 | 2 |
        | 1.6 | 2 |
        | 1.5 | 2 |
        | 1.4 | 1 |
        

        Align the vertical bar. Align number to the left

        output

        Here’s the table with the vertical bars aligned and numbers left-aligned:

        | input | output l |
        |-------|----------|
        | 2.6   | 3        |
        | 2.5   | 2        |
        | 2.4   | 2        |
        | 1.6   | 2        |
        | 1.5   | 2        |
        | 1.4   | 1        |
        

        Each column has been padded so that the vertical bars line up consistently, and the numbers are aligned to the left as requested.

          yeah, you formatted a markdown table. now you’re just repeating yourself. Prettier handles that just fine. I have the Prettier VSCode extension and set it as default formatter on save and this gets done automatically for me.

          Didn’t require a small lake of water and a gigawatt of electricity to compute… it even works offline!
