With Markdown tables you can: - merge cells vertically using ^ - merge cells horizontally by using || - but if you try to do both the finished table is wrong. e.g. ``` | Cell1| Cell2 | Cell3 | |------|-------|-------| | merge right || | | merge| | | | below|^ |^ | | merge both || value1| |^ || value2| ```  Screenshot taken from Firefox 93.0 on Windows 10
