Hello everyone, I’m using obsidian for 2-3 weeks. I use a lot the method of lists (- + space) and when I insert a table (ctrl + p, insert a table) it can’t go in mt list, I can’t indent the table with tab. Anyone have a solution?
Sorry if I’ve made mistakes; I’m French
I believe you can’t indent tables in Obsidian, or make it a part of a list.

Thank you,
Do you know it there is a module that could help me with that ?
I don’t, sorry.
A haphazard solution would be to use a image (screenshot of a table) and have it be indented.
Of the 3 tables in this image the 2nd and 3rd are images (screenshots, Win+Shift+S on windows for quick shot) I took of the first table. As you can see, the image can be indented or added to a bullet point.
Does this work for you?
In a similar vein, you can embed a table from another (or even the same!) document, using the ![[embed#^notation]]. These kind of embeds can be used in bulleted lists, quotes or callouts, as the following screenshot demonstrates:
The first table is a “real” table in the document. The remaining ones are embeds. Of course, if you edit the first one, the embeds update.
This is the markdown of this example:
| Foo | Bar |
| ----- | --------- |
| 1 | 2 |
| $x^2$ | `command` |
^f7ced3
- In a list ![[Untitled#^f7ced3]]
> [!warning] In a callout
> ![[Untitled#^f7ced3]]
> In a quote
> > ![[Untitled#^f7ced3]]
Note that the embeds include by default a blue line in the left margin. You can get ride of it by using Embed Adjustments - SlRvb's Documentation - Obsidian Publish and appending |clean to the embed wikilink.
