7 months ago I'm not sure I understand fully what you mean. That said, I think you're looking for some kind of sync with your Git repository in a special format, i.e. MD with HTML tables.
For that, there are no built-in options, but Vrite can support something like this. You can use bi-directional Git sync (currently only with a GitHub provider) with a custom, "remote" transformer.
Transformers are functions that can convert content between your custom and Vrite-compatible formats. There are 2 types of transformers:
- Input for content coming in, e.g. pull from the repo (converting your content to a simple HTML string that can be parsed by Vrite);
- Output for content coming out, e.g. commit to the repo (converting Vrite JSON to your custom output);
The Markdown transformer is built-in and MDX (with support for frontmatter and block JSX elements) is provided via an extension. You can register custom remote transformers from the settings, providing remote functions/endpoints that can be used to transform the content.
There are no docs on this feature right now, but you can check out the MDX extension source file and (more importantly) related backend routes. Docs and better tooling for creating transformers are in the backlog, but currently, you can use something like unifiedjs for all sorts of content processing.
For MDX with HTML tables, just editing these existing transformer endpoints should be enough. Host them as cloud functions and add them as a custom transformer in the settings.

I really like this - especially the way the WYSIWG tables work! I haven't found anything that looks this powerful other than Confluence, and it looks like something which might replace how I use Confluence.
I'd like to persist using markdown, using a sort of GitOps approach.
One thing I noticed is that the export looks to be either Markdown or HTML. In the case of these advanced tables, will the markdown table work for the round-trip - will it be able to maintain the complexity of your WSYIWYG tables? Is it possible to export markdown but have the tables embedded as HTML inside the markdown? Once tables get complex and edited via WSYIWYG I've found that HTML is more worthwhile than markdown.
