|Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2|
|Content in the first column | Content in the second column|

Expected result

Actual result

see just source

|First Header | Second Header|
|------------  | -----‐------ |
|Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2|
|Content in the first column | Content in the second column|

There’s a rogue character in the --- of the ‘Second Header’ (visible on the forum). Removing that should work:

|First Header | Second Header|
|------------  | ----------- |
|Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2|
|Content in the first column | Content in the second column|

EDIT: It looks as though the rogue character (which is also rogue on the help docs online) is a:

HYPHEN
Unicode: U+2010, UTF-8: E2 80 90

For tables, Markdown needs:

HYPHEN-MINUS
Unicode: U+002D, UTF-8: 2D
