(It seems in this forum line are put between table rows so the example above doesn’t demonstrate the point clearly but hopefully you can imagine if there was no row separator the distinction between rows would be difficult.)
Fortunately Checkvist can interpret HTML as well as markdown tables and this enables me to justify the text to the top of the cell so that it is clear that the new row starts at the text of the first column.
I use www.tablesgenerator.com for the creation of tables and note that for its tables the code includes gridlines between cells. (I can see there is a border-width:1px in the table code and when the table code is pasted into https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_table_border a table with a border is shown.) Checkvist however seems to ignore this and still create a table without gridlines.
Is there any way to create a table with gridlines in checkvist or is it possible to consider changing this so it implements the gridline aspect of the HTML table code? Thanks.

Hello @Nigel ,

Sorry for the delay with the answer. It looks like there was trouble with sending e-mail notifications from our forum.

You can customize the borders and view of the tables using CSS customization.
A rule like

.userContent table {
  border-collapse: collapse;
}
.userContent td {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}

Hope this helps,
KIR

Thank you. Tables imported from www.tablesgenerator.com seem now to have borders without the addition of these CSS rules. But thanks anyway.
