Markdown tables not rendered in message body #405

Description

Markdown tables in message bodies are not converted to HTML tables — they render as raw pipe-delimited text.

Steps to reproduce

basecamp messages create "Test" "### Data
| Name | Value |
|------|-------|
| Foo  | Bar   |
| Baz  | Qux   |" --draft --in <project>

Expected

The table renders as an HTML table in the Basecamp message.

Actual

The table renders as raw text with pipe characters inline.

Context

The SKILL.md states: "Content fields accept Markdown and @mentions — message body and comment content accept Markdown syntax; the CLI converts to HTML automatically."

Other markdown features (headings, bold, lists, code blocks) convert correctly. Tables appear to be the exception.

Workaround

Converting tables to bullet lists before posting.

Environment

  • basecamp CLI v0.7.2
  • macOS (darwin_arm64)
