3. May I suggest an ugly hack? Take a screenshot of your table and post it as an image.

Of course, you can’t edit it in place, but would have to edit on the computer and upload the new image.

Added steps but the editing on your computer is easier than editing the markup language in the textarea, and TBH, is completely independent of whatever browsers do to your table.

If I had to present an equation, that’s what I would do.

The HTML rendering engine at DU obviously needs to be as simple and bulletproof as possible, thanks to hackers.
