Render tables in the Content Editor

Problem to solve

In order to support the full GitLab Flavored Markdown spec, the Content Editor must be support rendering and editing all the elements of the standard implementation.

Here, we are focused on rendering tables.

Intended users

• Parker (Product Manager)
• Presley (Product Designer)
• Sasha (Software Developer)
• Eddie (Content Editor)

User experience goal

The user should be able to view tables in the Content Editor.

Proposal

Create an extension for the Content Editor that supports rendering tables.

The Content Editor should support rendering basic Markdown table structures. More complex, inline tables written using <table> HTML may not be rendered correctly.

Details

Rendering of the text itself should follow our standard Pajamas markdown style.

Availability & Testing

Available Tier

This feature, as with the content editor itself, is available on both SaaS and Self-managed Free tiers

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

Successful and accurate rendering of tables is the goal. This is a base assumption of functionality for an editor so success is measured by the lack of bug reports indicating failure to render content accurately.

What is the type of buyer?

Is this a cross-stage feature?
