You can use HTML table tags to create a table in md file.

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>Company</th>
    <th>Contact</th>
    <th>Country</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>
    <td>Maria Anders</td>
    <td>Germany</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td>
    <td>Francisco Chang</td>
    <td>Mexico</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Result

enter image description here

You need to follow &#124 with a semicolon. Here's the example below:

FirstName &#124; LastName | Phone | Email
--- | --- | ---
John &#124; Doe | 99658545 | [email protected]

I have tested on GitHub and it works. I would like to share my experience that initially it did not work because i entered it after a list item. Then I added a blank line by hitting enter just before that table. It worked ! Hope it helps !

As noted in the documentation, you need to escape the pipe (|) with a backslash (\):

To include a pipe | as content within your cell, use a \ before the pipe:

| Name     | Character |
| ---      | ---       |
| Backtick | `         |
| Pipe     | \|        |
