I spent a fair amount of time writing up documentation for my role(s), only to find that Galaxy doesn’t like Markdown’s table syntax.

For example this is how it looks on github:

[https://github.com/basho/ansible-riak/blob/master/README.md](https://github.com/basho/ansible-riak/blob/master/README.md)

Unfortunately, when that is sucked into Galaxy, it clobbers the table completely. Is it possible to add support for Markdown tables?

Thanks!

James

Yes, we can get this included in the next release.
