Currently, you can embed images in tables if you escape any | in the alt text with a \ (e.g., ![image\|100x100]). However, if you open the table editor, the \ is dropped and the image is broken.
Steps to reproduce
In a post, create a table and insert an image, escaping the | in the alt text with an \.
Save the post. The image should render properly in the table.
Click the pencil icon to open the table editor. You can see at this point that the / has been dropped from the image alt text.
Click Save.
Expected results
The image should display as expected. The \ should not be dropped from the image alt text upon opening the table editor.
Observed results
The \ is dropped from the alt text and the image is broken.
I’m more like a future oriented guy My users are very ordinary common people using mobiles. Just guiding them how to make a simple table was an awful task, because — sorry — markdown is far away user friendly. But let’s not discuss about that topic, but it is a reason why I never teached how to use images in tables. Escaping as a concept is totally unfamiliar, even scary, to them and if I tell them there is another thing among quite many they just must remember… well, it is better simple say they can’t use images.
But if I understood right that fixed editing issue, but need to escape pipe-marks is still there.
