Try to either - Remove all horizontal lines except for the one separating table head and body. Use `-` (not `=`) for that line. - Alternatively, add `+--+` lines between all rows. Currently you have a table with a single body row, so all text in a column is in a single cell. That's why some text is moved around if the cell width permits to do so.

Do you mean a combined syntax? I don't know, but I'd be surprised if it was. If you're interested in this topic, and want to witness how difficult it can be to choose a good table syntax, please check this discussion: https://talk.commonmark.org/t/tables-in-pure-markdown/81 -- Albert Krewinkel GPG: 8eed e3e2 e8c5 6f18 81fe e836 388d c0b2 1f63 1124 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
