Severity: Low

The markdown toolbar (assets/js/markdown.js, ~lines 508-524) only offers bold/italic/code/heading/list/quote/link — no insert-template button for tables, and no inline help text pointing to the | Header | Header | / |---|---| syntax a user needs to know from scratch. The parser itself renders manually-typed table syntax correctly, so this is a UX gap, not a functional bug.

Fix: Add a table-insert toolbar button that inserts a small starter template (e.g. a 2x2 table with placeholder headers) matching the exact syntax parseMarkdown()'s table-detection regex expects.
