Exporting to markdown when table cell contains "|"

[isakcodes]

I'm using docling to load documents and then export_to_markdown. My data has many tables and I've discovered that some contain the "|" character, breaking the table structure. So I thought, docling should surely escape those when exporting. Or at least offer an option to do so (if not by default).

I see there is another open issue mentioning this.

I considered contributing, but am unsure of where a change like that could fit in. Perhaps adding a boolean escape_breaking parameter here and then replace any occurences of "|" with regex. Perhaps that is too crude. Any docling-core developer that could point me in the right direction?

Kind regards,

@isakcodes Thanks for reporting this issue and your willingness to contribute!
Indeed, the problem you reported is being addressed in #61 .
Also note that we are leveraging the tabulate library, which also has an issue in this direction: astanin/python-tabulate#241
