Describe the bug
Tables are not rendered correctly if the trailing pipe is omitted.
From GitHub-flawored markdown spec (common mark doesn't have tables):
A leading and trailing pipe is also recommended for clarity of reading, and if there’s otherwise parsing ambiguity.
Recommended - not required.
I usually omit the trailing pipes - the tables look ok in plain text without inserting dozens of empty spaces to align the right border.
Table like this should be valid and render correctly.
It looks good in plain text, without a need to insert dozens of spaces
| state | dscription
|--------|---
| open | port is accessible, and service is listening
| closed | port is accessible, but no service is listening
Expected behavior
Tables without a trailing pipe should be rendered correctly.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Neovim using the Markdown table shown in the report and the supplied pipe_table configuration, then trace how the plugin recognizes tables without a trailing pipe. Done means the example renders correctly while preserving existing table behavior; add or run a focused regression test if the project has one.
