Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
# Your code here
import pandas as pd
html = """
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<p>Field 1</p>
<p>Field 2</p>
</td>
<td>
<p>Value 1</p>
<p>Value 2</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
"""
tables = pd.read_html(html)
print(tables[0].iat[0, 0])Problem description
In the current implementation, the p tags are ignored, and therefore it's not possible to infer that field 1 has value 1 and field 2 has value 2.
Expected Output
tables[0].iat[0, 0] == r'Field 1\nField 2'
tables[0].iat[0, 1] == r'Value 1\nValue 2'Output of pd.show_versions()
[paste the output of pd.show_versions() here below this line]
