What is table markup syntax now (at 2022-04-22)?

[SEAK Teng-Fong]

Two months ago, I was able to create a table in Jira using markup syntax like this:

||Header 1||Header 2||
|content|content|

Now, when I write like this, I don't have the table but only the strings EXACTLY like that!

Something's broken.  So, what is the NEW table markup syntax?  Thanks

It seems that new issue view is not flexible, when it comes to the markdown.

There is no markdown for table in this new documentation: Markdown documentation 

You can check your markdown in the old view, just add "?oldIssueView=true" after your issue key

Hello,

Do you mean I paste your string in the URL?

[Lucas Modzelewski _Lumo_]

Yes :) 

You can also find in on the issue view under the '...' in the top right corner -> "See the old view"

I have tried to paste that string at the end of any URL but that has no effect.  It has no effect on the creation of new issue and edition of old issue.

This table syntax is totally broken.

When I open my "Personal settings", at the bottom of the page is the "Jira labs".  There, it's written that

"We're currently transitioning everyone to the new issue view, so you're no longer able to switch back to the old issue view."

Maybe that's the reason why.  Fantastic.  Getting something new and breaking something old .... Can't we have both?

The new syntax appears to be like this

| Day | Meal | Price |
| --------|---------|-------|
| Monday | pasta | $6 |
| Tuesday | chicken | $8 |

But you must paste in plain text, any formatting will cause it to appear as text.
