BUG: Tables don't render if there's no blank line after the last row

Viewed 24

Tables with no blank line after them render as their Markdown source in Marked 3.2.4 (1218). In other places (including this text box), tables do not need a blank line after them to render correctly.

With a blank line: looks great

This Markdown source:

| Buyer | Word | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Procurement** | **"distribution"** | Need to find correct distribution |
| **Direct sales** | **"customer"** | Need to talk to the customer |

Follow-up line

Renders correctly in Marked (and in this very support editing box, as it turns out).

No blank line: doesn't render

If you remove the blank line between the table and "Follow-up line," then the table does not render correctly in Marked, but still renders correctly in this support textbox.

| Buyer | Word | Usage |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Procurement** | **"distribution"** | Need to find correct distribution |
| **Direct sales** | **"customer"** | Need to talk to the customer |
Follow-up line

Depends on the processor you're using. Because some processors view lines immediately following a table to be captions that have to be formatted in a certain way, not formatting them that way breaks the table. This isn't really a bug, it's just some inspiration to use more whitespace in your documents, which keeps them far more readable anyway :).
