Error: Cannot handle unknown node table

[niftylettuce]

Getting this error using latest version of all remark plugins, CLI, etc. (I'm working locally and version bumped everything to latest).

@niftylettuce please fill out the issue template https://github.com/remarkjs/.github/blob/main/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-bug.md
It provides the context we need in order to help.

Also if you recently upgrade to latest, please see the release notes: https://github.com/remarkjs/remark/releases/tag/13.0.0
in particular:

Did you use GFM (tables and so, used to be the default)? Now add remark-gfm

[niftylettuce]

I've narrowed it down to remark-contributors being the issue (have had a lot of issues with this package over time).

@niftylettuce Please do not remove issue templates: I can understand newcomers forgetting that but you have significant experience here on GH. The answer you are looking for is as Christian pointed out documented in the migration section on the release notes.

@milahu It seems you have not read the thread. You should use remark-gfm to enable GFM extensions that are not in standard markdown.

i want to produce "strict markdown" with html tables, so remark-gfm does not help

the error message is a bit obscure to a unifiedjs noob like me, so im sharing my solution here

[wooorm]

Okay! The main solution to this error that I believe most folks are looking for when they stumble here, is: use remark-gfm, as it handles table nodes.

If you don’t want GFM, your solution works (as you note, not all HTML can be represented in markdown though). For more info, see: https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype-remark#example-keeping-some-html.
