Consider the following cell:
```auto
md`
Foo
| Table | Example |
| -- | -- |
| one | 1 |
| two | 2 |
`
```
When the details are expanded, I expect it to render a table, like Discourse does:
> **Foo**
>
> | Table | Example |
> | --- | --- |
> | one | 1 |
> | two | 2 |
Instead, it renders the raw text, like so:

This happens because [Observable’s standard library](https://github.com/observablehq/stdlib/) is using version 0.3.12 of [marked](https://marked.js.org/), check these demo links [(v0.3.12)](https://marked.js.org/demo/?text=%3Cdetails%3E%0A%3Csummary%3E%20Foo%20%3C%2Fsummary%3E%0A%0A%7C%20Table%20%7C%20Example%20%7C%0A%7C%20--%20%7C%20--%20%7C%0A%7C%20one%20%7C%201%20%7C%0A%7C%20two%20%7C%202%20%7C%0A%3C%2Fdetails%3E&options=%7B%0A%20%22baseUrl%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22breaks%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22gfm%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22headerIds%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22headerPrefix%22%3A%20%22%22%2C%0A%20%22highlight%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22langPrefix%22%3A%20%22language-%22%2C%0A%20%22mangle%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22pedantic%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22sanitize%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22sanitizer%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22silent%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22smartLists%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22smartypants%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22tables%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22xhtml%22%3A%20false%0A%7D&version=0.3.12)[(v0.4.0)](https://marked.js.org/demo/?text=%3Cdetails%3E%0A%3Csummary%3E%20Foo%20%3C%2Fsummary%3E%0A%0A%7C%20Table%20%7C%20Example%20%7C%0A%7C%20--%20%7C%20--%20%7C%0A%7C%20one%20%7C%201%20%7C%0A%7C%20two%20%7C%202%20%7C%0A%3C%2Fdetails%3E&options=%7B%0A%20%22baseUrl%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22breaks%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22gfm%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22headerIds%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22headerPrefix%22%3A%20%22%22%2C%0A%20%22highlight%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22langPrefix%22%3A%20%22language-%22%2C%0A%20%22mangle%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22pedantic%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22sanitize%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22sanitizer%22%3A%20null%2C%0A%20%22silent%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22smartLists%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22smartypants%22%3A%20false%2C%0A%20%22tables%22%3A%20true%2C%0A%20%22xhtml%22%3A%20false%0A%7D&version=0.4.0) on the marked library homepage.
There was previously [a thread about problems that occured when upgrading the version of marked](https://talk.observablehq.com/t/md-is-broken/1800/5), but maybe the team will revisit it at some point.

Here’s a workaround, by the way:
```auto
md`# Bug Repro: Table in Details
Foo
${md`
| Table | Example |
| -- | -- |
| one | 1 |
| two | 2 |`}
`
```
