Supporting markdown table

[jotak]

Hi roq team,
As far as I can tell, there's no support currently for markdown tables such as that:

  | Time Range | Response time
  | :--------: | :-------:
  | Last 5m    | 984 ms
  | Last 1h    | 2410 ms
  | Last 6h    | > 10 s

which, for instance in github markdown, renders as:

Time Range	Response time
Last 5m	984 ms
Last 1h	2410 ms
Last 6h	> 10 s

Would it be possible to introduce such support? Is it something that has to be done upstream/FrontMatter , or can it be done directly in roq?

Current workaround is to write direct html:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Time Range</th>
<th>Response time</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Last 5m</td>
<td>984 ms</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last 1h</td>
<td>2410 ms</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Last 6h</td>
<td>> 10 s</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

PS: I'm happy to contribute such feature in roq if you want & can provide some help about how/where to do this

I think we need to switch our default markdown to this: quarkiverse/quarkus-qute-web#137, they have the table extension

ah commonmark also have it https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-java/tree/main/commonmark-ext-gfm-tables, the the https://github.com/vsch/flexmark-java seems to have more extensions.

Yes, I was going to say that.

@jotak You can add it on quarkus-qute-web first.

I have used CommonMark before but I am OK with whatever library is the most supported and is still getting commits!

It seems flexmark-java is not maintained anymore (PR not getting merged, no recent release, unanswered issues).. too bad it seemed to be more complete..
