| col1 | col2 |
| ----- | ---- |
| cell1 | [ |
| cell2 | ] |
Expected result

Actual result
Table renders differently in different modes.
Reading

from @Licat in #insider-desktop discord:
It’s definitely a bug but I checked the code and it’s going to be fairly difficult to fix. It’s a low priority bug so let’s have it tracked and we’ll get back to it later (though probably will have to be a few months). Meanwhile using the escape character is a reasonable workaround.
Not sure if this is related, but if I display task lists consecutively - e.g. where I’ve got tasks with different priorities, the first list displays fine, but on any lists below it, if the task contains a link I get some odd formatting with a random "> in it, and some of the text repeated:
This is in reading view; in live preview it looks fine. My guess is that something isn’t closing properly within the html of the table above. Posting here because it only happens when the task has a link in it.
Could you create a separate issue? I don’t see how that’s related.
When you create a separate issue, providing clear reproduction steps, minimal inputs, and screen grabs of the behavior would help out the dev team vet things. For example, your screen grab shows some odd things but without the input markdown, it’s impossible for anyone to troubleshoot. Thanks.
