Markdown has supported tables for a very long time... https://riptutorial.com/markdown/example/1741/creating-a-table https://riptutorial.com/markdown/example/1

  Tables were not part of the original spec and are not standardized across all implementations that support them. Once you start extending markdown to support all of the features Wikimedia supports, you end up with the same problem. If mediawiki syntax was as feature-limited as markdown, it would be equally trivial to parse.
