Tables have nans instead of empty cells

[wwarriner]

The table importer fills blanks with "nan". Doesn't appear to be an obvious solution, and the plugin has no config for it. We may need to investigate deeper.

The actual script for creating the table can be found at https://github.com/timvink/mkdocs-table-reader-plugin/blob/master/mkdocs_table_reader_plugin/plugin.py. The location where the table is converted to Markdown text and pasted into the source .md file is at the bottom of the linked script (line 208+). It doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to fork the repo and add in a snippet that replaces any nan text with 3 spaces (or whatever would make the table readable, not sure.

This is potentially something to hack on a Tuesday when we aren't quite as busy

Looks like its a typical pandas issue with nans appearing. It's part of read_csv. I think we can solve this purely by modifying the jinja code in the markdown file. Instead of:

{{ read_csv( file ) }}

We do

{{ read_csv( file, keep_default_na=False ) }}

Yep worked perfectly. Putting together pull request.
