Tables don't render in live preview unless there's a blank line above

[abogawat]

After the 1.3.2 update, all of my tables were showing up as text in live preview mode, instead of rendered tables as they did. I realized after digging around a bit that the tables render only when they have a blank line above them. This wasn’t the case in most of my files because I prefer to add them right after a title.

Steps to reproduce

• In live preview mode, start adding a table on a line right after any content (heading, text, doesn’t matter)
• Finish adding table

Expected result

• The content should show up as a table once the cursor is outside it

Actual result

• The table content just shows up as text, unless I go and add a blank line above it. Then it shows up as a table once the cursor is outside it.

This is intentional. Not a bug.

Oh, I didn’t realize this was a markdown requirement. I’m not thrilled about the change, but I understand the reasoning.

How do I close this thread? Sorry, new to the forums, so still figuring things out.
