GitHub is using display:block for .markdown body table elements

[justinjdickow]

See this README for an example of tables not being rendered properly.

The style should be display:table.

Leaving source here because I plan on changing the source of that README:

protocol_spec

Byte 1			Byte 2	Byte 3	Byte 4
Version	E	Frame Type	Service Type	Control Frame Info	Session ID

Byte 5	Byte 6	Byte 7	Byte 8
Date Size

Byte 9	Byte 10	Byte 11	Byte 12
Message ID

Hi @justinjdickow, thanks for reporting the issue. I have passed it on to our design team that manages our styles on GitHub.com.

Since this can't be fixed by a change to this library, I am going to close this issue.

After discussing this with our design team, the reason we use display:block is so we can properly overflow the table if it is wider than the content. With display block, we can make the table itself scroll without affecting the width of the text surrounding it.
