I recently needed to do the same thing  and was pleased that the colspan worked fine with consecutive pipes       Tested on v4 5  latest on macports  and the v5 4  latest on homebrew    Not sure why it doesn t work on the live preview site you provide   A simple test that I started with was     Header     --------------    0   1     using the command   multimarkdown -t html test md  gt  test html
