Tables in Onenote break due to shaded rows

[ppreshant]

I notice that my convention of shading the top row the indicate header breaks the importer when generating a markdown table. The shade becomes a ==highlighting== with the == but the rest of the table breaks because of this

I encountered the same. removing the shading (cell colors) the table is possible to import without any trouble.

Obsidian Version: v1.8.9

Wonderful! Thank you for confirming this behavior.

The issue I have is that I have hundreds of tables in multiple pages of the onenote notebook I'm trying to convert for future preservation.

Would you or anyone happen to know a plug-in in onenote that can remove the shading in bulk?

Thank you for pointing this out. It should be fixed in the next release.

You will still notice a blank row at the top of the table though because markdown tables are required to have headers and OneNote doesn't provide a

row to put there unfortunately.
