Multilinetables in Markdown or as an extension

[dvonessen]

Hi,
fist of all, thank you for this awesome project.

I have a question and before I open an issue I wanted to ask here.
I have the problem that I am working on a huge table. Sometimes I want to use multiple lines inside a table, but Markdown itself is not able to do this, HTML of course is.
So maybe this exists either in Material for mkdocs or as an extension. But how to get multiple lines inside a cell of a table.

Asciidoctor does have such a function and because of it's format, it is very easy to write huge tables with lots of content inside a single cell.

Markdown example:

Multiline Text Table
===================

| Column 1                          | Column 2                    | Column 3                                  |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| First line of text                | This is a single line of text | Line 1 of text<br>Line 2 of text<br>Line 3 of text<br>Line 4 of text |
| Text in the first column<br>More text in the first column | First line of text<br>Second line of text | Just a single line                        |
| Multiline<br>Text<br>Here          | Another line of text        | Line 1 of text<br>Line 2 of text<br>Line 3 of text |

Asciidoctor example:

= Multiline Text Table

|===
| Column 1                          | Column 2                    | Column 3
| First line of text
  +
  Second line of text
  +
  Third line of text
| This is a single line of text
| Line 1 of text
  +
  Line 2 of text
  +
  Line 3 of text
  +
  Line 4 of text

| Text in the first column
  +
  More text in the first column
| First line of text
  +
  Second line of text
| Just a single line

| Multiline
  +
  Text
  +
  Here
| Another line of text
| Line 1 of text
  +
  Line 2 of text
  +
  Line 3 of text
|===

Thank you, I did look into the markdown extension.
Seems like a working solution.
