Tables support

[noureddine-taleb]

Hi @thetarnav ,

Great project, I am really eager to use it in my platform to implement streaming animation as in perplexity. However we make heavy use of tables to render data, and can i ask you when is it expected to have first version that support tables even in very basic way, i can help if you wish, if the infrastructure needed are there. Thanks again.

I don't have plans to do it now so I cannot give you a timeline.
You're welcome to take a stab at it if you want.
Not sure what do you mean with infrastructure.
I think the syntax could be supported, but it is a complex one so something might be necessary to change. Like the idea to keep the token enum as an bitset would have to probably be changed as I'm running out of bits, and there is not much benefit to it either.

By infrastructure i mean, if i can resuse some existing markdown features that already implemented, and just modify a code a bit to make it work at this point i only care about the table itself with some cells, it doesn't need to be comprehensive to support differentiation between th and td for now. And i will take care of styling in css. Any idea how can i do that ? Or weather it is possible at all without major changes in the parser ?
