Do Tables require a blank line to end?

[gabriel-check24]

I tried parsing the v8-docs with micromark and the GFM extension. The v8 repo includes this table wrapping syntax:

:::table-wrap
|table|demo|
|---|---|
|row|row|
:::

This results in ::: being recognized as a token of type tableRow. It also generates HTML like that's part of the table: <td>:::</td>

import {micromark} from 'micromark'
import {gfm, gfmHtml} from 'micromark-extension-gfm'

const value = ':::table-wrap\n|table|demo|\n|---|---|\n|row|row|\n:::';

const result = micromark(value, {
  extensions: [gfm()],
  htmlExtensions: [gfmHtml()]
})

console.log(result)

This issue is not specific to tthree colons, hello would also be parsed as a row. Do tables require a blank line to end?

hello

Yes, hello is explicitly part of a table in that case.

|x|
|-|
|y|
z

x
y
z

Whether the ::: should be seen as a container instead of a cell, is unknown. There is no directive spec. I can see something for your ideas.

But generally, if you‘re writing markdown, always use blank lines between things.
