MdPreview not parsing tables

[kuhlaid]

I have a markdown file containing tables, but the MdPreview previewer is not parsing them. It would be ideal if the MdPreview parsed the markdown tables to prevent my repository users from thinking I formatted the document poorly. Below is a screenshot of the markdown preview in the Dataverse (https://dataverse.harvard.edu @ v. 6.3 build 8c99a74+10614+10720+10808+10797+10820-iqss)

Below is the markdown copied directly from the markdown file representing the screenshot above:

Hmm, @ErykKul has an open PR for this:

• added support for tables in Markdown previewer #76

[ErykKul]

The mentioned PR makes tables look like the one on the bottom of the page (not perfect, it could use some css fixes, but better than what it is now):

Would ya'll consider using a Markdown previewer such as https://github.com/jbt/markdown-editor? Just the preview code not the 'editor' part. This would create a Markdown preview similar to the GitHub previewer that has spoiled most of us.

Mmm, GitHub flavored 😋
