Multimarkdown has a pretty good syntax for tables. In general it has the following bug which may be a feature: <div> is considered a tag but <DIV> is not. The latter is rendered as <p><DIV></p> which breaks the xhtml spec but which is rendered properly on every browser I've checked.
There is also a flag inside multimarkdown that can be set to work inside what it considers block level tags. I ended up setting this, and forgetting it. I've been making the argument that div, html, and body (others?) are NOT block tags, but structural tags, and should be ignored. I took a look at the code to see if I could hack it to do this. Markdown has some heavy regexes. Not trivial.
