Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/644

Current behavior

Boost Note currently seems to sanitize all HTML tags. If we include an HTML table, it is ignored by the editor and not shown in the rendered document. Mardown tables are rendered properly as expected.

ss_Boost_Note_0 9 0_html_table

Expected behavior

HTML tables should be rendered properly, as shown below with old Boostnote.

ss_Boostnote_html_table

This is useful in scenarios such as adding a list of items within a table cell, as shown in the screenshot above. (Side note: HTML lists are not supported either).

It has been previously noted that all HTML tags supported by GitHub are also supported within Boost Note [comment], but this doesn't seem to be the case currently.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add an HTML table to a Boost Note note.
  2. Check the rendered document.

Environment

Desktop/Web

  • Boost Note.next version: 0.9.0
  • OS version and name: macOS 10.15.6 (19G2021)
