Markdown for tables in Approval emails

[notj]

Is this a working functionality for others? 

I'm using Office 365 ProPlus(16.0.12527.20988). My client will not render the markdown table in the Approval task correctly. I'm using the example table given here 

| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 | 
|-----------|:-----------:|-----------:| 
| Cell A1 | Cell A2 | Cell A3 | 
| Cell B1 | Cell B2 | Cell B3<br>second line of text |

This is how it looks in desktop client:

This is how it looks in webmail:

Hello @notj 

Unfortunately it seems there's a bug which has not been solved yet. Have a look at this thread: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/I-Found-A-Bug/Markdown-Table-from-Flow-Approval-Email-not-render...

Could you use HTML instead of Markdown?

@notj As @fchopo  mentioned there are BUGS with Markdown which make formatting difficult.

In the past I have managed to create table(some what good) using  https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables# 

My Markdown.

@fchopo are you able to use HTML in the Approval action email? when I try to put HTML in the Approval task body, it just writes it out as text.

[notj]

@CFernandes I tried that as well. Both tables worked fine in Web Outlook but not in desktop.

@notj Oh OK. I know that there are some limitations.

With regards to using HTML I think it is not possible, you might want to vote up the idea at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Automate-Ideas/Approval-Email-HTML-Instead-of-Markdown/idi...
