Could any one help?

Solution

  • You need to follow &#124 with a semicolon. Here's the example below:

    FirstName | LastName | Phone | Email
--- | --- | ---
John | Doe | 99658545 | [email protected]

    I have tested on GitHub and it works. I would like to share my experience that initially it did not work because i entered it after a list item. Then I added a blank line by hitting enter just before that table. It worked ! Hope it helps !
