Where is your minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example?

Sorry, I guess the Stack Overflow link was a bit generic.

I hope this helps:

To reproduce the example:
In Rstudio: file> new project > new directory > new package > create a package.
Now, following instructions on creating a README file from Hadley's Packages Book run:

devtools::use_readme_rmd()

`Now insert an Rmardown table in the README.Rmd file

Table Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Table Cell | Cell 2
Cell 3 | Cell 4 

Then press the knitr button. This will update README.md to include:

Table Header | Second Header ------------- | ------------- Table Cell | Cell 2 Cell 3 | Cell 4

Open README.md in Rstudio and compile to HTML. This shows the above text is not rendered as a table.

I cannot reproduce it with the latest versions of RStudio (0.99.1208) and rmarkdown.
