Table breaks when there is |---|---| in first line

[magickaito]

When I have a markdown code like this:

Certainly! Here is a comparison of population between Singapore and Japan:
|---|---|
|Singapore |Japan |
|---|---|
|5,693,373 |126,937,352 |

I will get wrong output like this:

Certainly! Here is a comparison of population between Singapore and Japan: |---|---|

Singapore	Japan
5,693,373	126,937,352

It looks like marked does not recognise the first line: |---|---|

Any way to solve this?

The spec says the second line of a table must be the line with dashes. So that line can't be part of a table.

If you want that to be part of the table you will need to create your own table tokenizer.
