Tlaichas, Repaired Markdown Table #100851

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/100851

Hello,

Thank you for sending this over.

I took a look at the Markdown, and I can see why the table is breaking.

Markdown tables depend on the pipe symbol | to define the table columns. In the text you sent, the table starts with |||, but it is missing the required separator row. Also, several table rows start with |. That backslash escapes the pipe symbol, so it can prevent Markdown from reading that line as part of the table.

You can try replacing the broken table section with the repaired version below.

To do that in TheBrain, please open the note, right click in the note body, choose Edit as Text, then replace the broken table Markdown with this:

| | |

The important changes are:

• The table now starts with a proper Markdown table header and separator:

| | |

|---|---|

• The row-starting | entries were changed back to normal | characters.

If this broken table was created by TheBrain during normal editing, instead of being manually typed or pasted in this format, that may be a bug. If you can reproduce how it happened, please send us the steps or a short screen recording showing the table before and after it breaks. That would help us confirm what is causing the Markdown to be changed this way.

Best regards,

John
