Caveats

The GFM table strictly follows CommonMark's "first block, then inline" parsing strategy. Thus, a pipe (|, U+007C) is always recognized as cell separator, unless you escape it (\|). (github/cmark-gfm#24open in new window)

Be careful!

You have to escape pipes even if they are in code spans. (#24open in new window, #1000open in new window)

You cannot use pipes (absolute value symbol) in math spans inside a table. (#259open in new window, #318open in new window)
