A bug has been reported where uploading images with size details in a Markdown table causes the table to break. Steven provided an example of the issue and suggested a workaround by removing the size details from the image syntax. dax reported that the issue does not occur for them.
As an alternative, md-misko suggested escaping the vertical line inside the table using \|.
Steven acknowledged the workaround and Falco noted that this issue is a duplicate of a previously reported problem: https://meta.discourse.org/t/pictures-dont-upload-well-into-tables-because-of-the-straight-bar-symbol/86063?u=falco
Hi,
I think it’s a new bug, in a table, when you upload an image the | separating the name of the image and the size works as a new column and breaks the table:
|--|--|
|  |  |
| Table | Heading |
|---|---|
|  |
It’s working for me
| Table | Heading |
|---|---|
 |
|
| Table |Heading |
|--|--|
|  |  |
| Table |Heading |
|--|--|
| |  |
The problem is that markdown tables do not support the images size inside the image syntax so you need to use something like:
|Table |Heading|
|---|---|
|  |  |
| Table | Heading |
|---|---|
 |
 |
instead of
|Table |Heading|
|---|---|
|  |  |
PS. You can still use the HTML table if you need to specify the image size.
By default uploaded images add the size details so I thought it might be something to look at, but it’s totally fine by me, easy to go around it!
You can also escape the vertical line inside the table:
| Table | Heading |
|---|---|
|
|
|--|--|
