Ok now i've just seen the note, tables are not supported on iOS 15. So my question what is the reason there is no support, is it causing any issue while rendering?

Hi @syegin,

Thanks for raising this issue. This is a known limitation, even documented in the Minimum Requirements section of the README.

The current table implementation uses a Grid view, only available from iOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, and watchOS 9.

I am experimenting with other approaches to lay out the text that may enable table rendering on iOS 15 and fix other issues. But I can't promise anything at the moment.
