This feature would be super useful, see the grid tables found here

Hi @AnmolMago,

But this feature is under section Not supported of the extension you provided. How do you see implementation of this feature?

The problem with markdown tables is that they don't support multiline cells by design and there's no way to overcome this limitation, unfortunately.

@rpeshkov perhaps org mode?

there's also RST https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html#tables which it appears supports multiline cells

there's also table.el https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/textmodes/table.el
