markdown-it-merge-cells's Issues

Render ordering issues

Is there a way to run my custom render function before this plugin's pass? Since there no option to selectively disable it and the "comments"-solution (#15) also doesn't work in my case.

Context

I'm using VitePress. I've written a custom rendering function using markdown-it-container which basically takes a table inside certain container and parses it to get 2d string array from the contents of its cells. Unfortunately my pass happens after the cells were merged, hence I'm receive distorted matrix.

I've tried reordering md.use calls: it had no difference.

I've also tried directly using md.renderer.rules.table_open to register my parser to eliminate possible interference from markdown-it-container, but I was still getting table after merging,

Sometimes we don't want part of the table be merged.

Can you give us a way to do that?
