+; Tables inside blockquotes — parser continuation prefix
+A table nested in a blockquote has a `> ` (block continuation) prefix on every
+line. `get_node_text()` only strips the node's `col_start` from the *first*
+line, so lines 2+ keep the `> `. The lpeg row parser in
+`parsers/markdown.lua` then fails silently on those lines, leaving the
+separator and data rows unrendered (only the header shows, or the table renders
+empty/broken).
+Open this file: every table below should render fully — header, separator, and
+all data rows — with borders aligned. The blockquoted tables should look like
+the plain control table, just indented under the quote marker.
+### Control: table not in a blockquote
