It is not easy to "just write quotes" in CSV-tables #1272

Writing some notes today, I found it hard to embed quotes (even after declaring an escape character). We should investigate this (and fix a typo in the options docstring)

We also should explicitly state what kind of markup is supported - why don't footnotes work?

Perhaps it's the MyST parse context that is separate per cell.

Hm, yes. I think that footnotes are probably the main thing that wont work? Maybe block content as well, but I haven't tried that.

I think that we should have a separate push to have a specific parser for footnote references that doesn't get downgraded by markdown-it, but can be downgraded at a later point (maybe) if the cross reference is not handled. This would, for example allow for footnotes on other pages, as well as solving the specific issue that @choldgraf pointed out.
