I split this into a separate discussion. Indeed it looks like Stack Exchange and Community flavors of markdown do not support tables yet:
Is there any markdown to create tables?
We will look into it. It would be good to have especially with tools like THIS. Perhaps a solution could be placing WL generated TeX output between $$ tags. For example:
TeXForm[
TableForm[
{{A, B},
{C, D}}
]
]
\begin{array}{cc}
A & B \\
C & D \\
\end{array}
so it should look like a table but it does not - though it does in preview:
$$
\begin{array}{cc}
A & B \
C & D \
\end{array}
$$
And I agree - GitHub syntax integration would be nice. Any further ideas are welcome.
