Bug when rendering tables

See original GitHub issue

The following table isn’t recognized as a table:

|   | ico | emoji | ico | emoji |
| - | --- | ----- | --- | ----- |
| [top](#table-of-contents) | :bowtie: | `:bowtie:`  |  :smile: | `:smile:` |
| [top](#table-of-contents) | :laughing: | `:laughing:`  |  :blush: | `:blush:` |

But this is:

|   | ico | emoji | ico | emoji |
| -- | --- | ----- | --- | ----- |
| [top](#table-of-contents) | :bowtie: | `:bowtie:`  |  :smile: | `:smile:` |
| [top](#table-of-contents) | :laughing: | `:laughing:`  |  :blush: | `:blush:` |

Basically it looks like showdown is expecting multiple hyphens.

Thanks for the detailed explanation, let’s hope GitHub’s implementation becomes less ambiguous and aligns itself more to commonmark’s table syntax then 👍

@connorjs

I’m looking how to reconcile that remark (via remark-gfm) and remarkable allow single hyphen tables, but showdown does not (even though source documents both say GFM).

Just hit this very exact scenario myself, did you discover anything?
