Raw Normal View History

This rule is triggered when tables are either not preceded or not followed by a
blank line:
```markdown
Some text
| Header | Header |
| ------ | ------ |
| Cell | Cell |
> Blockquote
```
To fix violations of this rule, ensure that all tables have a blank line both
before and after (except when the table is at the very beginning or end of the
document):
```markdown
Some text
| Header | Header |
| ------ | ------ |
| Cell | Cell |
> Blockquote
```
Note that text immediately following a table (i.e., not separated by an empty
line) is treated as part of the table (per the specification) and will not
trigger this rule:
```markdown
| Header | Header |
| ------ | ------ |
| Cell | Cell |
This text is part of the table and the next line is blank
Some text
```
Rationale: In addition to aesthetic reasons, some parsers will incorrectly parse
tables that don't have blank lines before and after them.
