How to make a HTML table in comment section

aery

When normal html table is written, it is not shown in comment section. How do I write html in comment body?

If you have markdown [extra] enabled for formatting, like this:

First Header | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell | Content Cell
Content Cell | Content Cell

/plugins/HtmLawed/htmLawed/htmLawed.php

Replace:

function hl_bal($t, $do=1, $in='div'){

with:

function hl_bal($t, $do=1, $in='div'){
// <br /> tag breaks table, so we strip them. 
$t = preg_replace(array('#(</?(?:td|tr)>)<br />#', '#<br />(\s*</td>)#'), '\\1', $t);

vf.org is working with table tag properly, so maybe core devs are knowing better way.

Ok, here is a demonstration.

[Source]

<table class="PreferenceGroup">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <td>Plugin</td>
      <td>Version</td>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Addon Manager</td>
      <td>0.2.0</td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td>CLEditor jQuery WYSIWYG</td>
      <td>0.5</td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td>Emotify </td>
      <td>1.0</td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td>Facebook</td>
      <td>0.1a</td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td>Q&A</td>
      <td>1.0.3b</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

[Result]

Plugin	Version
Addon Manager	0.2.0
CLEditor jQuery WYSIWYG	0.5
Emotify	1.0
Facebook	0.1a
Q&A	1.0.3b

[Conclusion]
Do not break the line inside table.

Thank you for this - I've been puzzling over how to do this for hours!
