Run the following code:

using System;
using Markdig;
namespace MarkDigTableTest
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var md = @"
| h1 | h2 |
|----|----|
| v1 | `` |
| v2 | `` |
";
            var mp = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
                .UsePipeTables()
                .Build();
            var html = Markdown.ToHtml(md, mp);
            Console.WriteLine(html);
        }
    }
}

It produces the following output:

<p>| h1 | h2 |
|----|----|
| v1 | <code>| | v2 |</code> |</p>

I.e. it fails to render the table as an HTML table. Removing any of the rows or putting something inside any backtick pairs makes it work as expected.

Likely a duplicate of #176

Note that

``

in markdown is not an empty code inline, but the start of one that is delimited by two backticks. E.g. so that you can do

``this is text with `a code inline` in the middle``

Makes sense, especially since it happens when they come in pairs.
