I believe table support was considered too difficult under the current Markdown implementation. There is planned work to replace the Markdown engine and then possibly support Markdown tables.

Discourse and CommonMark

Curious if there is any notion of when this might happen at this point… I see that this is not on the 1.8 Release plan. And that the the to-do list for CommonMark v1.0 is not draining too quickly. Is CommonMark 1.0 considered a prerequisite for the transition? Or is it more about the stability of markdown-it API? This is not a “where the !&*# is my CommonMark?” question. I’m just curious to understand what the current thinking is…
