[solved - Thanks to Yariplus] Markdown Table code - fails on my forum

noobbb

Update: Markdown tables did work without upgrade. I copied and pasted code without realizing that it was reformatted. That's why it failed before.

Hi,

I copied code from https://community.nodebb.org/topic/6293/markdown-tables

but I am having no luck. Please help.

I am using
● composer (default) Installed 3.0.22 | Latest 3.0.22
● nodebb-plugin-markdown Installed 5.0.1 | Latest 5.0.1

Thanks for reading.

What version of NodeBB?

This was added in Markdown 6.0.1, which will only show up in NodeBB v1.0.3 or greater.

@yariplus

I am running NodeBB v1.0.3.

My acp shows 5.0.1 is the latest one. Do I need to manually upgrade?

@noobbb strange. Yeah. Manual upgrade should be fine.

eg npm install nodebb-plugin-markdown@latest

@yariplus Cool. Do I need to uninstall the markdown plugin first and then manually install?

yariplus

@noobbb Nope. When you specify a version with @latest it will automatically overwrite the old one.

@yariplus So I tried the "npm install nodebb-plugin-markdown@latest" and I got permanent 502 gateway error. Then, I tried deactivate > install markdown from the ACP. In the second attempt, markdown table works. In both cases I saw this.

Thanks for the help. Now I can finally have nice looking tables
