Parsing of table after heading (with/without blank line)

Bug reports

1

Steps to reproduce

Add a table directly below a heading:

## Heading
| | |
|-|-|
|Day|Week|Month|

That table no longer renders correctly in live preview, but does render correctly in reading mode. If you add a blank line directly after the heading, it starts rendering correctly.

Expected result

A correctly-rendered table, in live preview mode.

Actual result

No table is rendered

Could you elaborate on why this is considered a bug when this is not?

we haven’t decided if we wanna allow a table right after a heading (the reader does it) or require a blank line in this case as well.

Yeah I’m open to this being intended behavior. But it was a regression for me, a bunch of pages broke. :man_shrugging:

Edit: I think the reader view should match, in any case.

Personally I really prefer having headings immediately followed by a table. Adding the extra space creates too much dead space in my opinion.

I’m fine with having the space be required otherwise, as it keeps tables separate from other data. But the header is already a natural separator, so I think the previous behavior is preferred.

Agreed. The dead space is certainly uglier.
