I originally had a very complex replace regex but I couldn't get it to not be vulnerable to catastrophic backtracking, but this works

I prefer code to complex regexes anyway :-)

Nit, and looks like a holdover, but "exmaple" -> "example" ?

Nice set of tests. Could you add one or two really simple ones, e.g.

  • |1|
  • |1\||
  • |1\\1|

Starting simple makes the later ones easier to understand.

Still no example with a singly-escaped pipe? \|

Can you add a comment above this line/function explaining its purpose? (It looks like the goal is to ensure that every cell-delimiting pipe has a space before it, so that you can split cells on ' |').

Worth noting in a comment that leading or trailing whitespace is ignored per the spec.

Looks good overall, a few nits here and there.

  1. Can you open an issue describing the problem?
  2. It seems like this PR fixes a spec compliance issue. Do any of the spec tests fail without the patch?

  1. What is the benefit of opening an issue? I feel like having an issue and PR will just fragment the conversation.

  2. All of the gfm Tables specs were passing but there were some tests that were not in the spec that would fail. (i.e. the tests I added)

    In addition I was trying to get rid of the vulnerable regex: / +\| */

@UziTech

  1. re: issue, this is my logic. Either a PR fixes a bug, or a PR adds new functionality. I am under the impression that this PR fixes a bug (although the absence of failing spec tests calls this into question?). Bugs deserve bug reports. Therefore there should be a bug report.

  2. Huh, this is surprising. Does this mean this is not a spec compliance issue?

  1. In my view a PR is the same as an issue accept it has code associated with it. (i.e. this is the bug report) On GitHub I don't believe there is much of a difference between issues and PRs. You can even link to this PR with https://github.com/markedjs/marked/issues/1262

  2. Not exactly spec compliant, more like spec test compliant. It would work correctly if there was an escaped pipe (\|) in a table cell but not if there was an escaped slash right before a cell-delimiting pipe (\\|). It would assume any slash before a pipe meant the pipe was escaped.
