Tables not supported

I pasted a table, but no markdown table markup was generated

Indeed, tables are currently not supported. The reason is, tables are not part of original Markdown and I wasn't sure at the time which idiom to choose. What would you suggest in that regard: what do you expect

<table><th><td></td></th><tr><td></td></tr></table>

to transform to?

I just see that Commonmark does not specify tables at all.

Github's (and gitlab's) Markdown support tables:

  • https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/#GitHub-flavored-markdown
  • http://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/markdown.html#tables
| header 1 | header 2 |
| -------- | -------- |
| cell 1   | cell 2   |
| cell 3   | cell 4   |
