MATH LATEX: Wrong pipe (vert) rendering in tables in live preview

Steps to reproduce

  • create a table
  • insert $|$ or $$|$$ into a cell

Expected result

When using $|$ outside of the table, the latex renders correctly by showing a vertical line “|”. This should also render the same way when inserted into a table.

Actual result

When using $|$ inside a table the result is a double vertical line “||”.

This is a limitation of tables right now. To make obsidian work in tables | is actually turned in to \| which renders as ||.
