Parsing strategy for tables?

Extensions

For markdig, the strategy followed is that | has a higher priority over emphasis inline elements but lower priority to code backsticks or links. The parsing of the table is done when parsing the inlines of a paragraph block (so that when match occurs, it will transform the ParagraphBlock into a Table)

If you look at this test on babelmark3:

| c | d |
| - | - |
| *a | b* |
| `e | f` |
| [g | h](http://a.com) |

the combination of resuts are still quite different across the different markdown processors.

But with a closer look:

  1. For | *a | b* | most of the markdown parsers treat | as higher precedence than emphasis
  2. For backsticks most parsers treat them with higher precedence over |
  3. For | [g | h](http://a.com) | most parsers treat | with higher precedence than links

So in markdig, I followed 1) and 2), but for 3) I followed to give | lower precedence to links
