Unable to render html table

[lifebubble]

I am unable to use the parser to generate html tables.
Here is some sample code

var contentProvider = new FileContentProvider(null);
var converter = new MarkdownService(contentProvider);
string html = converter.ToHtml("| abc | def |" + Environment.NewLine +
"| --- | --- |" + Environment.NewLine +
"| abc | def |"
);

Based on the documentation it seems to be supported or am I doing something wrong?
