Github tables without a header row about reverse_markdown HOT 3 OPEN

Hi @vanboom,

The github markdown specs looks no different to the regular one concerning tables: https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/

Maybe I don't get the point yet, but I'd rather not treat td with b tags any special unless it's a real thing in any spec.

Yes, I agree that the td + b approach would not be the best option. The issue is that I have a table that does not have a in the header so the markdown is appearling like this:

| header 1 | header 2 |
| item 3 | item 4 |

Without the | ---- | ---- | line to denote the header row, the Github markdown translator is not treating the table as a table when attempting to render the markdown back to HTML. I am using the github-markdown gem to convert the markdown to HTML.

I was able to get a possible solution working on my fork which detects and treats the first row of the table as the header row regardless of the presence of . I will try to get a PR together for your consideration.
