Hello,

I am on:

Manjaro XFCE

Joplin 2.4.12 (prod, linux)  
Client ID: 00952e555f6c4f91b420f63ab8131624  
Sync Version: 3  
Profile Version: 39  
Keychain Supported: No  
Revision: b45585d

What does this "Markdown renderer additional feature" actually do?

Is it [this](https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-it-multimd-table)?:

The features are provided:

- Cell spans over columns
- Cell spans over rows (optional)
- Divide rows into sections
- Multiple table headers
- Table caption
- Block-level elements such as lists, codes... (optional)
- Omitted table header (optional)

I am asking as I am trying to decide which editor to use; Markdown or WYSIWYG

Thanks,

Leigh

The various markdown extensions are detailed here: [Markdown Guide | Joplin](https://joplinapp.org/markdown/)  
In particular the `Multitable` option links to:  
[GitHub - redbug312/markdown-it-multimd-table: Multimarkdown table syntax plugin for markdown-it markdown parser](https://github.com/RedBug312/markdown-it-multimd-table)  
and  
[Tables](https://fletcher.github.io/MultiMarkdown-6/syntax/tables.html)

It is worth noting that even if you use the rich text editor, it still stores the data as markdown in the background and the multimarkdown extension does not work in rich text mode.
