We noticed something with the pipe table extension. If you put a table without a data row, in github it renders, but the markdig pipe table extension doesn't recognize it as a table.

Example

PIDM ID isProcessed

As a workaround, we just added a blank row after to force it to render like this.

PIDM ID isProcessed

Would you consider this a bug? It's not really specified according to pandoc pipe tables or anything else but it does work in github. I ask because I could probably find time to work on this and submit a PR but I don't want to waste my time.

I believe it is a bug, don't remember exactly if I put this requirement in the code. Might be an oversight...
