I haven’t looked at jekyll in probably 2 years. I’m been playing a bit with 
pelican and I end up with something like:

---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
  **Exporting a client profile/bundle**
 --------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
  -   Remote Access Server: TCP   [![OpenVPN TCP Viscosity Client Export 
1](/images/thumb.pfsense-and-openvpn-OpenVPN-TCP-Client-Export-01.jpg)](/images/pfsense-and-openvpn-OpenVPN-TCP-Client-Export-01.jpg)
  -   Host name resolution: IP
  -   Verify Server CN: Automatic
  -   Random Local Port: Checked
 ---------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

This is supposedly the easy way to do it. The other way is something like:

+————+————+
| col 1       | col 2       |
+————+———-+
| row 2      | row 2    |
+————+——— +

And, as you might imagine, this is not particularly condusive to getting any 
work done, because you’re constantly focusing on making sure things line up 
properly so they will render.

I don’t know what the solution is (since both rST and Markdown both share this 
awesomeness) but it would be really nice to get something that lets people get 
back to focusing on the content instead of the presentation (that all gets 
interpreted and re-rendered anyway)
