In a markdown table, blank cells are now ignored altogether and don't even work as placeholders. Consider the example table from https://fossil-scm.org/home/md_rules:
(markup)
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
----------------------------------------------
| Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 |
|:Left-aligned |:Centered :| Right-aligned:|
| | ← Blank → | |
| Row 4 Col 1 | Row 4 Col 2 | Row 4 Col 3 |
(rendered)
| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
| Row 1 Col 1 | Row 1 Col 2 | Row 1 Col 3 | |:Left-aligned |:Centered :| Right-aligned:| | | ← Blank → | | | Row 4 Col 1 | Row 4 Col 2 | Row 4 Col 3 |
That cell "← Blank →" used to appear in the middle column. Now it is on the left.
