Live Preview: Support Tables in list items

It’s really hard to understand why rendering tables inside lists isn’t supported in preview mode.

  1. This is a very common use case that users are likely to encounter. More importantly, this structure is the only way for list items containing tables to be block-referenced, which should be one of Obsidian’s strengths.
  2. It’s supported in reading mode, so why not in preview?

If it’s due to technical limitations, then I believe it’s something worth overcoming—especially when there’s clear user value in the scenario.
If it’s a technical constraint that Obsidian simply can’t address at the moment, then that would be the only reason I could accept.

That said, I still hope this feature can be implemented soon. Obsidian is deeply loved by many users, and I genuinely hope it continues to improve!
