This is an excellent extension to support the rowspan and colspan table functionality in Markdown. However, for some reason, the development/support has stopped somewhere in 2019. I've updated the extension to work with the latest Markdown version (which introduced some incompatible API changes) and also applied bugfixes from forks found in the public repositories.

I plan to maintain my version as long as I am using Python-Markdown, but if the upstream resurrects I would gladly, revert to it. In any case, this PR is just to share the work that was done, so people who are interested in the working extension would have an option to use it.

- Collected an applied different patches found across multiple
  forks of this extension
- Updated the code to work with the latest version of Markdown
Updated the extension to work in 2023 :)

Obviously, this file is not applicable to be merged upstream since it points to a fork, but given no activity in @Neepawa's repository I did not want to spend time to split out the changes acceptable vs what is my fork only stuff.

NOTE: This is a fork of an excellent idea implemented by @Neepawa, however
the upstream seems to be abandoned for a while, so I collected different
patches across all forks and also updated the extension to work with the
latest version of [Python-Markdown][markdown]. I plan to maintain this
version (and push changes to upstream) as long as I am running my personal
blog on [Pelican][pelican], which heavily relies on Python-Markdown.

This block should be deleted if the change is to be accepted since it is a part of my local fork's README.md.
