| in backticks breaks Table Syntax

[mDuo13]

GitHub-Flavored Markdown, PHP Markdown Extra, and the Python Markdown Extra extension all support table syntax, which depends on the bar character (|) to delineate columns. However, only Python's parser does not nicely handle bar characters in code font (backticks) even within tables. It splits a column on any bar character, even if it's part of a code-font sequence. (This causes it to drop the code syntax and any content from extraneous columns, as well.)

A better behavior would be to match the GFM and PHP Markdown Extra behavior, which doesn't split tables on bars that are inside backticks (code-font block).

| Title | Row |
|---|---|
| `a1|a2` | b |

GitHub rendering (PHP Markdown Extra does the same):

Title	Row
`a1	a2`

Python's rendering looks a little more like this:

Title	Row
`a1	a2`

Actual output from the interpreter:

>>> s2 = """
... | Title | Row |
... |---|---|
... | `a1|a2` | b |
... 
... """
>>> 
>>> markdown.markdown(s2, ['markdown.extensions.extra'])
'<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Title</th>\n<th>Row</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>`a1</td>\n<td>a2`</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>'

We made some recent changes addressing this specific issue (see #530 which is available in 2.6.8). Which version of Python-Markdown are you using?

[mDuo13]

Ah, yes, I'm only on 2.6.2. Upgrading to 2.6.8 fixed the issue. Sorry for the dupe!

That looks like an old version. I get this on the current:

'<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Title</th>\n<th>Row</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tb
\n<tr>\n<td><code>a1|a2</code></td>\n<td>b</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>'
