Hi team,
Can we have Markdown tables?
And while we’re at it: a feature to insert links via a button.
Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to your profile.
What is your definition of a markup table? Do you mean the ability to use the html <table> tag?

Thanks for giving us the lowdown on markdown.
This notation doesn't look any simpler to me than the basic html tags allowed, but of course 'easy' always means what you already know.
But at a time when many site functions are already broken and emails and notifications regularly go AWOL, I'm not sure it's a good idea to add more features.

More advanced: make it open in a new tab:

Right, if you meant 'HTML table', then unfortunately the allowed tags don't allow it. A possible explanation is that they use HTML tables for the forum page layout, so a badly tagged post could potentially mess up the whole page if they don't have a table tag checker (which shouldn't be too difficult to implement, I guess).
The only thing you can do for now is to post it as an image, which is not ideal.

You could do some fancy stuff with Blockquote and CSS to simulate a table, but it would only be useful for a handful of CSS nerds, and the layout might be distorted on a smaller screen.
This is probably not high priority for Proz right in the middle of their coding migration with bugs all over the place. ▲ Collapse

Markdown tables would be the solution here too.

I still hope that they'll add Markdown compatibility to the forum editor. Using double * for bold and especially single * for lists is just so much simpler.

The simplest solution in the short term would be to allow the Table tag and simply check that for every <table> tag, there is a </table> tag.
In the longer term, a more modern solution would be a Word-style WYSIWYG interface.
But I don't think they have time to read this.
