@enginates - thanks for the raising the issue. This project currently only supports markdown. If you look at the specification it stipulates that tables are not supported by intention. In fact it shouldn't even support other Markdown elements inside a certain block level elements. I have a bug to fix this #35

Now there are extensions to the Markdown format such as GitHub Flavoured Markdown which do support tables. This project does aspire to support these formats, but table conversion is actually pretty challenging.

Have a read of the <table> specification for GitHub Flavoured Markdown. Key things note are:-

• No support for <th> in any position other than the entire first row
• No support for block level elements in <th> or <td>
• No support for multi-line content in <th> or <td>

So if I am to support this then I need help designing what should happen when tables that cannot be converted are encountered.

I hope that makes sense?
