Code

| Header      | Title       |
| Paragraph   | Text        |
"""

    output_path = Path("out.pdf")
    md2pdf(
        output_path,
        md_content=f"This is a **test**\n\n{table}",
        css_file_path=None,
        base_url=None
    )

Looking closer, it looks like the best thing to do would be to expose the extras attribute out to the user. markdown2 supports this extra:

* tables: Tables using the same format as GFM
  <https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown#tables> and
  PHP-Markdown Extra <https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#table>.

Exposing this to the user would allow them to enable whichever extras they need.

Like so:

def md2pdf(pdf_file_path, md_content=None, md_file_path=None,
           css_file_path=None, base_url=None, extras=None):
    """
    Converts input markdown to styled HTML and renders it to a PDF file.

    Args:
        pdf_file_path: output PDF file path.
        md_content: input markdown raw string content.
        md_file_path: input markdown file path.
        css_file_path: input styles path (CSS).
        base_url: absolute base path for markdown linked content (as images).

    Returns:
        None

    Raises:
        ValidationError: if md_content and md_file_path are empty.
    """
    if extras is None:
        extras = ["cuddled-lists"]
    ...

I can confirm that setting extras=["cuddled-lists", "tables"] fixes this issue.

Great! Can you propose a PR?

@jmaupetit Looking at the master branch more closely, this actually is supported

md2pdf/md2pdf/core.py

Line 31 in b73deee

extras = ['cuddled-lists', 'tables']

But there has not been a released on PyPI in 4 years:

https://pypi.org/project/md2pdf/

Could a new release from master be pushed to PyPI? That would close this issue.

This is now fixed! https://pypi.org/project/md2pdf/0.5/
