RedCloth: table with empty value

Ruby
1

Hello List /.

I am trying to build a html table from a string using RedCloth.
My table should show some empty values

require ‘redcloth’
table = RedCloth.new("|a|b|c|d|\n|A||c|d|").to_html
puts table

produces:

a b c d
A c d

Do you know how can I represent an empty value in a table ?
Thank you /.

Force empty cells to span 1 column with \1. In my test the cell
contains a space, if that’s “empty” enough.

puts RedCloth.new(“|a|b|c|d|\1|A||c|d|”).to_html
