In these ☝️ support tickets, clients expected to be able to use HTML to create tables on their template. When told we use Markdown, he asked if we support tables.

I'm curious about this one. There are ways to format tables in markdown. Is it an issue of the learning curve to figure out how that is the pain point for them?

Yes .. Notify doesn't support tables with Markdown because of the security and the accessibility of the output. But we haven't really learned what they were trying to do with a table.
