Description

I'm trying to get the following MD document to render proper HTML. The ouput is not as I would expect. The tables are not rendering as I would expect. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

This is the input file:

CLEANING
=
| No.  | Important Parts for Cleaning    |  Cleaning Cycle | Ref. Figure
| ---:|---|---|---|
| 1 | Around the hook | Every day       | url_for_fig_1
| 2 | Guide rail to the take-up lever | Once a week | url_for_fig_2
| 3 | Around the movable blade and the fixed blade | Once in 3-7 days | url_for_fig_3
| 4 | X-Y drive pulley teeth and timing belt teeth | Once a month

OIL SUPPLY
=
1.  Oil supply   Use the SWF sewing machine oil (Spindle Oil) or ISO-standard VG18.
2.  Manual oil supply

    | No.  | Where To Oil    |  Oiling Cycle | Ref. Figure
    |---:|---|---|---|
    | 1 | Take the bobbin case out of the hook. Feed small1amount of oil on the raceway. | 3-4 times a day | url_for_fig_1
    | 2 | Needle bar and needle bar shaft | Once a week | url_for_fig_2
    | 3 | Inside the arm | Once a week | url_for_fig_3, url_for_fig_4
    | 4 | Guide rail to the take-up lever | Once a week | url_for_fig_5

This is the ouput html after I run $ python3 -m markdown2 test2.md > exportToHTML/test2.html:

<h1>CLEANING</h1>

<p>| No.  | Important Parts for Cleaning    |  Cleaning Cycle | Ref. Figure

| 3 | Around the movable blade and the fixed blade | Once in 3-7 days | url<em>for</em>fig_3
| 4 | X-Y drive pulley teeth and timing belt teeth | Once a month</p>

Research direction

Reproduce the report from test2.md with python3 -m markdown2 test2.md and compare its HTML with the mdv rendering shown in the issue. Trace the parser behavior for the two table examples, including the indented table, and verify the resulting HTML matches the intended table structure without regressing the surrounding headings and list.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
