I have this problem also, it looks like html2text does line wrapping at 78 or 80 characters that messes up the markdown table layout. Also has problem when a row spans multiple columns. E.g.:

Input:

<table>
 <tr class="lightgrey">
   <td class="td_row"><b>Row#</td>
   <td class="td_verification"><b>Web Service</td>
   <td class="td_endpoint"><b>Description</td>
   <td class="td_call_status"><b>Call Status</td>
   <td class="td_verification"><b>Passed Verification</td>
   <td class="td_verification"><b>Failed Verification</td></tr>
<tr class="comment">
<td colspan="6"><H1>Q0_WS01 RedemptionServices</H1></td></tr>
<tr class="comment">
<td colspan="6"><H2>0. SetUp</H2></td></tr>
 <tr class="lightgreen">
<td class="td_row_num">5</td>
<td class="td_nowrap">createAPMember1.0 <a href="RedemptionServices.xls-Z5H-20171207-123235-Row-5-Request.xml">Request</a> <a href="RedemptionServices.xls-Z5H-20171207-123235-Row-5-Response.xml">Response</a></td>
<td>Setup step: Create test AirPoints member</td>
<td>PASS</td>
<td>6</td>
<td>0</td></tr>

Result: The table layout is broken up and long rows have been wrapped with hard line breaks at column 78

**Row# | **Web Service | **Description | **Call Status | **Passed Verification
| **Failed Verification
---|---|---|---|---|---

# Q0_WS01 RedemptionServices

## 0\. SetUp

5 | createAPMember1.0
[Request](RedemptionServices.xls-Z5H-20171207-123235-Row-5-Request.xml)
[Response](RedemptionServices.xls-Z5H-20171207-123235-Row-5-Response.xml) |
Setup step: Create test AirPoints member | PASS | 6 | 0

Fix:

• don't pad tables
• do use the following options (or their equvalent methods)

$ html2text -b0 --no-wrap-links AnnoyingTabulatedReport.html > NicerReport.md

(rows that span multiple columns are still not handled but I suppose that's a separate issue)
