Tables support in Markdown blog posts

Open thibaudcolas opened this issue 1 month ago • 5 comments

Currently on posts like Five ways to discover Django packages, we have to resort to HTML to display tables. It would be nice if instead Markdown blog content supported table syntax.

If someone wants to work on this, it may be as simple as adding the Markdown tables extension to the extensions list here and writing a test.

I may pick it up if no one else does after a while.

Hi @thibaudcolas I will work on solving the problem. Is that okay with me?

i mean, I've made a fork and I'm currently working on it. I'm almost done, just a few small things left to adjust. I'll run it locally and test it more and more. Should I write a test for it, or is just adding it enough? I don't have experience, as this is my first contribution, so I'm asking.

Please write a test 👍

Hi @sarahboyce , Sure, I’m working on the test now and will add it to the PR once it’s ready
