Reading this post I found out how do col span in mark down. Nevertheless if I use this:

| One     | Two        | Three   | Four          | 
| ------- | ---------- | ------- | ------------- |
| One     | Two        | Three   | Four          |

| One     | Two        | Three   | Four          | 
| ------- |----------- | ------- | ------------- |
| Span Across ||||

Tables are a non-standard feature of Markdown as they are not part of the original rules. Various Markdown implementations have implemented their own tables add-on. However, without a authoritative rule-set, they are not always consistent.

As you are using Markdown Here, you need to consult their documentation, which makes no mention of any column span feature. However, the documentation does mention that the tables feature is copied from GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM). GFM has a full spec. If Markdown Here strictly follows that spec, then we can be confident in how it is to behave. However, I don't know if they do or not (the wording in the documentation does not inspire confidence in a strict match in behavior).

Regardless, GFM does not include support for column spans. Therefore, it is safe to assume that Markdown Here does not as well.
