Markdown tables spuriously fail

[dkorpel]

Reduced to:

| A                                | B                            | C  |
|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|----|
| A                                | B                             | C  |
| A                                | B                             | C  |

Which should render as:

A	B	C
A	B	C
A	B	C

But on the forum preview it shows:

And if you align the last column:

| A                                | B                             | C  |
|----------------------------------|-------------------------------|----|
| A                                | B                             | C  |
| A                                | B                             | C  |

It fails completely and shows this:

A	B	C
A	B
C
A	B
C

If you tighten it up:

| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| A | B | C |
| A | B | C |

It works correctly. I have no idea what's happening.

Argh. It's a bad interaction with RFC 2822 wrapping.

Standard Markdown fits and works well with hard-wrapped text, however, that does not extend to GitHub's extensions.

So, we need to heuristically detect and exempt lines containing Markdown tables from wrapping.

Edit: Hmm. No, that's not it.

We already unwrap lines before passing them on to the Markdown renderer:

I think there's a problem with the unwrapping algorithm.

So it's simply word wrapping around 74 characters before converting to markdown? At least I can work around that for now by making my table smaller.

Should be fixed now.

Thanks for your swift action!
