Hi everyone,

I want to add table and fontawesome icons in first topic message. How can I do it?

[Markdown tables](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet#tables) are supported. ~~Likewise there is a setting to enable HTML tables.~~ (it was removed with markdown-it)

That’s half of it. The other part was how to add font-awesome icons to the tables. Pretty sure that requires whitelisting of `class`, which is no done by default:

`<i class="fa fa-camera" aria-hidden="true"></i>` :

Looks blank to me. Placing a direct character isn’t likely to work:

`&#xf030;` : 

Use images? You could write a quick plugin to whitelist the classes though too
