[Feature] Include markdown tables
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Weirdly, table syntax is recognized, but the formatting characters (|, -) are just removed in the rendered markdown.
Describe the solution you'd like Implement github-style rendered tables (maybe just a library change is necessary).
Describe alternatives you've considered Other option: show the formatting characters in the rendered markdown (which is ugly, but at least not unexpected).
Additional context The Android client for Nextcloud notes supports this, if you are looking for a library.
PS: Thank you for the awesome app.
Thanks @tysino for the feedback 🙂
@ArnyminerZ , would you maybe have the time to check this out after your exam period? Could we move this to the MarkdownText project? 🙂
The issue here is that we are working with AnnotatedString, I don't see how we could create a table only with characters. Maybe with some ASCII magic... But we should investigate a little bit. The other way could be generating an image and rendering it... I'll take a look at the options. We should move the issue to MarkdownText then.
The good thing is that the table is already being parsed by the library, so it's just a rendering issue.
Yes, I also wouldn't go too far with the markdown support, but maybe we can also just keep the tags for now!
I have now released MarkdownText 1.2.3, it fixes temporally the issue by rendering the table as raw Markdown. Once I finish exams I will work on a proper implementation of tables.
