I would like to create a table in markdown with merged cell rows.
There was already an opened thread here:
which seems to say the markdown-it-multimd-table is used internally, but I don't know if this is valid for Android too. I've tried to use the ^^ chars to create a merged cell between rows, as described in the Rowspan example of the library here:
but it doesn't work in Joplin. The caret characters appear instead of the row with double height.
So, how can I merge rows in a way that is also Android-compatible?
Can you confirm that you have switched the extension on in the app? It is off by default. It is found in the desktop / Android settings under "Markdown" > "Enable multimarkdown table extension".
Unfortunately I didn't guess that was an optional feature due to the Italian translation here. That translation doesn't seem to be about tables because “tavola dei contenuti” means “table of contents”.
Probably a better one could be “Attiva estensione tabelle multimarkdown”.
