Wiki links with alias render incorrectly in table cells

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a table
  2. In any cell, add a wiki link with an alias. Ex: [[1 January|01]]

Expected Results

  1. Table parses correctly
  2. Wiki link is displayed using its alias (e.g. shows as 01)

Actual Results

While table parsed fine, the wiki link is displayed as 1 January\0\1\|

Notes

  1. Separate issue = the wiki link issue I reported doesn’t show up in the exported JPEG, so here’s a screenshot instead:
  2. Rendering is inconsistent. Ex: sometimes the alias display would be rendered as [8 January}08, but I wasn’t able to recreate that more than once:

Unfortunately, the alias markdown syntax conflicts with the table syntax, so the | is escaped to prevent the table from breaking, but invalidates the alias.

We’re thinking of some workaround for it, I’ll update this thread as soon as we find something :slight_smile:
