Markdown issue with tables

[ericmccarthy7]

The simple_tables extension in pandoc does not work with GitHub flavoured markdown. This change disables simple_tables and allows
atom-beautify to work its magic on my markdown with no issues.

allows atom-beautify to work its magic on my markdown with no issues.

Could you add a test for this? What was not working and what it looks like now? If you want to paste input, broken output, and new (desired) output in a comment here I can turn it into a unit test.

Thanks!

I am not able to get it to work:

Input

Right     Left     Center     Default
-------     ------ ----------   -------
   12     12        12            12
  123     123       123          123
    1     1          1             1

Table:  Demonstration of simple table syntax.

Output

This looks messed.

  Right Le   ft   Center De   fault
  ---------- ---- ----------- -------
  12 12           12          12
  123 12     3    123         123
  1 1             1           1

If you make a markdown file, make a table (with pipes), and beautify it, it formats the table into an unsupported markdown for github.

For example

INPUT:

| Header One     | Header Two     |
| :------------- | :------------- |
| Item One       | Item Two       |

On github:

Header One	Header Two
Item One	Item Two

OUTPUT:

  Header One   Header Two
  ------------ ------------
  Item One     Item Two

On github:

Header One Header Two

---

Item One Item Two

Try it yourself

You can test it out in atom by typing

table

and then pressing tab (in markdown mode). Then beautify it.

I'm not the best at explaining things but hopefully this cleared it up. You can read more on github flavoured markdown here.

The change I suggest (small temporary fix, you can probably find a better one) stops the removal of pipes.

Going to be switching to Tidy-Markdown: see #292.

Looks like Tidy-Markdown has great support for all of these features, and GitHub Flavoured Markdown.
