I expect correct parse: `parse('<table>\n<tbody><tr><td>sdfq</td></tr></tbody></table>')` It works, but Chrome console has error: Warning: validateDOMNesting(...): Whitespace text nodes cannot appear as a child of <table>. Make sure you don't have any extra whitespace between tags on each line of your source code. https://jsfiddle.net/2f7tpmx5/1/
