Text / Scheduled Text Block Markdown Formatting Issue

[Dan-Peck]

When using the markdown syntax in the Text and Scheduled Text blocks, it was discovered that they may render a bit differently. The Text block will show tables with lines, and a full width, where the Sched Text block only arranges the text into a tabular layout without any additional formatting. These should display consistently between the two.

One other point to mention is that the markdown sometimes does not get interpreted as expected. Such as when making multiple tables in the content, or switching up the order in which some content appears (e.g., table at the top and other content below, or vice-versa). Need to confirm whether the showdown/markdown converter supports these features, or if we can only have a single table per block, and determine if we need to change anything to help with this.

e.g.,

This content definition:

| Tables   | Are           | Cool  |
| -------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered      |   $12 |

Separate

| Tables   | Are           | Cool  |
| -------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered      |   $12 |

Will result in this formatting between the two block types:

Notes:

• The formatting of full-width and lines on the table will be added to the scheduled text block as well
• However, the way the markdown syntax is interpreted appears to simply be the way the showdown converter currently operates, and is related to how it continues the format of the previous table, or list, in the content, rather than ending it after a blank line(s). To have this change, a request would need to be made to the showdownjs project team. ( https://github.com/showdownjs/showdown/issues )
