Description
NodeBB version: 1.10.2
nodebb-plugin-markdown: 8.8 (latest)
**NodeBB git hash: ab7657d **
Database type: mongo
Database version: 3.6
First I did this: upgrade to 1.10.2
Then, all existing and new Markdown tables with empty first cells where broken
What you expected: empty first cells
**What happened instead: cells moved to left side **
Markdown tables can't start with empty cells since nodebb 1.10.2 / plugin 8.8
downgrade to 1.10.1 / plugin 8.4 solves the problem

Research direction
Reproduce the table behavior using NodeBB 1.10.2 with nodebb-plugin-markdown 8.8, then compare it with NodeBB 1.10.1 and plugin 8.4, which reportedly work correctly. Trace the Markdown table parsing or normalization path and verify that tables beginning with empty cells retain those cells after the fix.
