Hi,

We now have a issue that when escaped pipe in code appear in table. Markdig have different behavior with github. I test on babelmark and here is the example:

|  Category |   Expression      |  Description  |
|-----------|-------------------|---------------|
| D         | `x \| y`          |   Description |
| C         | *x \| y*          |   Description |
| B         |  x \| y           |   Description |
| A         | `x  | y`          |   Description |

Markdig result:

Category	Expression	Description
D	`x \\| y`	Description
C	x \| y	Description
B	x \| y	Description
A	`x \| y`	Description

Github result:

Category	Expression	Description
D	`x \| y`	Description
C	x \| y	Description
B	x \| y	Description
A	`x	y`

Is it possible for markdig to keep the same behavior with github in this case?
