markdown--fontify-table-alignment is a natively compiled function defined in markdown-mode.el.

Signature

(markdown--fontify-table-alignment)

Documentation

Visually align cell separators of the table line at point.

Hiding markup makes the displayed content of a table cell narrower than the buffer text, which breaks the column alignment of tables that are aligned in the source. Give the whitespace before each cell separator a space display specification stretching it to the separator's buffer column, so that separators are displayed at the same column as in the source regardless of what is hidden before them.
