Cannot escape pipeline character inside table row

[Behzad Shabani]

How can I escape pipeline character inside a table row. formerly, I could do this with placing backspace beside the pipeline but now it doesn't seems to work properly

an example:

Example	Table
Row 1	| (this will not be shown as the previous pipeline is not escaped)

Markdown source for table above:

Example | Table
---|---
Row 1 | \| *(this will not be shown as the previous pipeline is not escaped)*

Replacing pipes with character escape codes like | or | also does not work.

How can this not have a solution after almost 5 years? What a joke.

I’m still facing this issue, no solution?
