I think we can simple solve this if just allow set “`newline`” before “`|`” symbol.

So it will look like this in markdown:

```auto
| Server
| IP
| Description
|
|-
|-
|-
|
| cl1 
| 192.168.100.1
| This is my first server in the list
|
| cl2 
| 10.10.1.22
| This is another one server
|
| windows-5BSD567DSLOS
| 127.0.0.12
| This is customer windows vm. dont touch this! 
|
| DFHSDDFFUCKENLONGNAME
| 192.168.1.50
| Some printer
|
...

```

Or the first table:

```auto
| Item
| Amount
| Cost
|
|:-
|-:
|-:
|
| Orange
| 10
| 7.00
|
| Bread 
| 4
| 3.00
|
| Butter
| 1
| 5.00
|
| Total 
|
| 15.00
|

```
