With Asciidoctor we can repeat cell contents if we prefix the cell separator pipe symbol (|) with the number of times we want to repeat the cell followed by an asterisk (*).
In the following example Asciidoctor source file we define two tables and add 2* to cells that we want to repeat two times:
// 3-column table, where the first column // cell value is not repeated, and the // cell value for columns 2 and 3 is // repeated. |=== | Column | Value | Value | Name 2*| Asciidoctor | Description 2*| Awesome way to write documentation |=== // One column table. So the repeated // cells are each on their own row. |=== | Column 2*| Asciidoctor 2*| Awesome way to write documentation |===
When we generate a HTML document from this source we see the following result:
Written with Asciidoctor 1.5.1.
