They render as aligned columns, with column alignment respected, while copying still yields the Markdown table plus an H-T-M-L table. In a related open proposal, PR 17441,…
Second, smarter ingest and deduplication. PR 17442 improves duplicate detection for compatible In-Book, In-Collection, and In-Proceedings types by comparing using both field definitions, with I-S-B-N detection handled symmetrically regardless of order. Separately, draft PR 17444 would route U-R-Ls pasted in web…
