Hi @DavidAnson
We have developed training documentation where we want to embed a table into an ordered list. Unfortunately, when we do that, it breaks the ordered list and is reported as an error in MD029. See below for an example. If there was a way to "hide" the table, such as when one hides a special character by placing the backslash character immediately before it, that might work?

Here is a table in an ordered list with no issues. Is that what you want?

Yes this would work. I attempted to indent the tables 4 spaces, but when I did that, they blew up.

Maybe try adding the leading | to the rows when you indent

Thank you @DavidAnson and @nschonni. It worked great. The tables blew up because I didn't indent the appropriate number of spaces. Now is both formatted correctly and passing the lint check. This item has been resolved.
