Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Apparently in Foliate the fb2 format does not support displaying tables.
Describe the solution you'd like Display tables in Foliate for fb2 format.
Describe alternatives you've considered As far as I know, tables in fb2 format are supported in Okular and CoolReader programs, as well as on flibusta.is website. (Some programs, sometimes, like FineReader, format an image and a caption for that image as a table.)
Additional context As I understand from the description (http://www.fictionbook.org/index.php/%D0%AD%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82_table), a table is denoted by: the table body by the tag (table); a row denoted by the tag (tr); a cell within a row denoted by the tag (th). Example structure: (table) (tr) (th)(/th) (/tr) (/table)
Example fb2 file with table:
