It used to be that when one left a space in a cell of a table, that would generate an appropriate empty cell (insert
in html).
However this does not happen any longer:
|*A*|* *|*B*|
| 1 | | 2 |
|*C*|* *|*D*|
creates
Note that the header cell works fine, but the any other cell that is not a data cell does not work.
Did you try
<nop>
?
BTW I am not familiar with this rule. I tried this on a Bejing installation:

Apparently this is related to bold faced text does not render correctly, when just whitespace:
an empty * * bold text
an empty * * bold text
Normally, nobody would use something like this, but it could occur in tables where there are empty header or footer cells.
Note that the empty header is correctly taken care of, but the empty footer is not. --

Yes, but I am not sure if this is a bug with TablePlugin, or an enhancement request for TML.
In either case not a Requirement.

Not an enhancement, I realize that I misunderstood requirement (I thought "requirement" meant a deviation from the spec). --

Some other fix must have resolved this problem, as the test case above now looks as it should. Closing. --
