Escaped pipe in image embeds is removed inside Markdown tables

[meniv-nl]

Quartz Syncer removes the escape character from an escaped pipe (\|) in Obsidian image embeds when the embed is used inside a Markdown table.

For example, this source Markdown in Obsidian:

| Image |
| --- |
| ![[image.png\|400]] |

is published by Quartz Syncer as:

| Image |
| --- |
| ![[image.png|400]] |

Because the pipe is no longer escaped, Quartz interprets it as a table cell separator. As a result, the image embed is not parsed correctly and the generated HTML contains the literal ![[... text instead of an <img> element.

The same image embed works correctly outside a Markdown table:

![[image.png\|400]]

Image embeds without a size parameter also work correctly inside tables:

| Image |
| --- |
| ![[image.png]] |

Environment

• Quartz Syncer: 1.18.0
• Quartz: v5
• Obsidian
• Quartz build environment: Linux

Expected behavior

Quartz Syncer should preserve the escaped pipe inside Markdown table cells:

![[image.png\|400]]

Actual behavior

Inside a Markdown table, Quartz Syncer changes it to:

![[image.png|400]]

This appears to be specific to escaped pipes in Obsidian embeds inside Markdown tables.
