I’m reporting this bug that has been noticed and reported a while ago but isn’t fixed yet so that it can be tracked more easily. 🙂

Empty lines will be added inside the table layout if there are empty lines below the line on which we’re going to use the table builder.
No issue:
If there’s a line ( **empty or not** , it doesn’t matter) directly below the table builder’s line, there will be an empty line just below the header’s separator:
ℹ Multiple **filled** lines below each other will trigger the same behavior: only one empty line will be added below the header’s separator in the table layout.
However, if there are **multiple empty lines** below the table builder’s line, there will be additional empty lines in the table layout, between the body’s rows.
For example, if there are 3 empty lines below, there will be a total of 3 empty lines in the table’s layout.
One under the separator, and one between the first two table body’s rows:
