Screenshot showing Writer and Calc unable to handle markdown tables pasted from
clipboard
The Markdown parser in GitLab's comments editor (and perhaps some other
Markdown editors) automagically converts tabular content copied from
LibreOffice Calc spreadsheets, but the reverse is not true.
If you copy this Markdown table to your clipboard:
| Sales | Europe | Asia | Africa | Atlantis |
|---------|--------|------|--------|----------|
| Apples | 434 | 545 | | 6656 |
| Bananas | 5 | | 33 | 7657 |
| Oranges | 677 | 535 | 3 | 4390 |
...and paste into Writer or Calc:
* Calc can partially interpret it by guessing the "|" column separators,
however it adds an extra column at the start,
and doesn't handle the "---" row below the header row.
* Writer doesn't parse it at all, it just pastes a plaintext mess.
