+# Table Rendering Improvement Demo

+This demonstrates the fix for table rendering issues described in GitHub issue #18.
+
+## Before and After Comparison
+
+| Severity | Vulnerability | Impact | Recommendation |
+|----------|---------------|---------|----------------|
+| High | Samba SMB 3.x Local Privilege Escalation (CVE-2016-2124) | Allows local attacker to escalate privileges to root. | Upgrade Samba to a patched version, disable is_known_pipename feature |
+| Medium | CUPS 1.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities (CVEs varying) | Known vulnerabilities related to arbitrary file reading and privilege escalation. | Upgrade CUPS to the latest stable version. Restrict access to web interface. |
+| High | WEBrick httpd 1.3.1 Directory Traversal | HTTP (WEBrick httpd 1.3.1) directory traversal vulnerability | Upgrade Ruby and WEBrick. Implement strict input validation |
+
+## Key Improvements
+
+1. **Better indentation** - Tables are now properly indented for better visual hierarchy
+2. **Consistent spacing** - Added proper margins around tables  
+3. **Improved alignment** - Column content is better organized
+4. **Enhanced readability** - Text flows more naturally within cells
+
+The table rendering now provides a much better user experience when viewing markdown content with tables.
