I would like to insert a mathematical expression involving a pipe char, e.g. $p(A|B)$ inside a table. However, this creates a new table cell instead of printing the character.
Escaping the pipe char as in $p(A \| B)$ solves the cell splitting issue. Nevertheless, instead of the pipe char a norm symbol ("||") is rendered.
Searching online, I found this very similar issue on the Atom editor forums, maybe that helps: Pipe character within $..$ in markdown table breaks equation across columns · Issue #185 · atom-community/markdown-preview-plus · GitHub
Is it possible to put an expression like $p(A|B)$ inside a tabular environment, and make it render correctly? Thanks!
