Escape "\|" not working in table cell

[Godsing]

Describe the bug

Badcase

context When I run the following code:

md_doc = r"""
| variable | type |
| --- | --- |
| ids | List \| Tuple |
"""
print(mdformat.text(md_doc))

expectation Expected output:

| variable | type |
| --- | --- |
| ids | List \| Tuple |

bug But instead, its output:

| variable | type |
| --- | --- |
| ids | List | Tuple |

Goodcase

But the following code work well:

md_doc = r"""
1\. hello
2\. world
"""
print(mdformat.text(md_doc))

output:

1\. hello
2\. world

Debug

I have debugged and found that it may be fixed by modifying the paragraph function in the "mdformat/renderer/_context.py" file.

The Goodcase works well because of the code lines[i] = lines[i].replace(".", "\\.", 1) in the paragraph function.

Reproduce the bug

See above.

Hi!

This seems to work fine with mdformat-tables:

foo@bar:~$ python3 -m venv venv
foo@bar:~$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) foo@bar:~$ pip install mdformat mdformat-tables

The table syntax is not CommonMark so you'll need the table plugin. See https://mdformat.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/plugins.html#parser-extension-plugins

Hi! ... The table syntax is not CommonMark so you'll need the table plugin. See https://mdformat.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/plugins.html#parser-extension-plugins表格语法不是 CommonMark，因此您需要表格插件。见 https://mdformat.readthedocs.io/en/stable/users/plugins.html#parser-extension-plugins

Thanks!

Now I see. I need to explicitly enable the tables extension! I added the parameter extensions={"tables"} to mdformat.text, and it worked.
