Having problems with tables when adding a table referencing source control paths. For example, this renders ok

Status|Path
------|----
Active|$/val
Active|$val

but add in / to the second path value

Status|Path
------|----
Active|$/val
Active|$/val

and the output goes wonky

Escaping the second (i.e. \\) fixes the problem. I'm not aware of $ being a special char in markdown?

This is experienced in the preview window of the Markdown Editor visual studio extension version 1.10.186 on Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 14.0.25431.01 Update 3.

Confirmed by https://babelmark.github.io/?text=Status%7CPath%0A------%7C----%0AActive%7C%24%2Fval%0AActive%7C%24%2Fval and seems to be markdig-only issue.

Yes, the $ is used by the extension mathematics and it look like it has a higher precedence than table pipes |... when markdig is configured with advanced extension, the math extension is enabled (and Markdown Editor is using this).

I'm quite busy this week... so won't be able to look at this before next week
