A usual one line table has the below syntax:
|this is one line table|
|----|
and render as:
this is one line table |
---|
If we omit the vertical lines:
|this is one line table|
----
It is rendered the same while editing, but after saving the post, the render is different and the table is gone.
|this is one line table|
To see this more clearly, click edit.
From the user's perspective, they should have the same result, although the syntax is not correct.
