The table syntax extension in the top comment is interesting — it solves the readability problem without breaking unrendered markdown. The ::y1 approach degrades gracefully. One thing I keep running into with these markdown supersets: the rendering gap. You write locally, push somewhere, and suddenly the :::columns block is just raw text. Marp handles this well because the VSCode plugin closes that loop immediately. Curious how MDV handles the renderer portability problem — is the spec open enough that editors could pick it up, or does it depend on the MDV CLI being in the chain?

It is supposed to be compatible with markdown. Also a vscode plugin is available in marketplace.
