Would you consider to include feature to allow tables without headers:

d | e | f

Instread of:

As a workaround, that the suggestion in that SO answer almost works. If you put this in MDH's Primary Styling CSS:

th:empty {
  font-size: 0px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  border: 0;
}

...You end up with this:

Notice the one-pixel-thicker grey line at the top? That's from the <tr> border. I can't figure out a way to get rid of it cleanly, since there's no CSS parent selector (like, "select the tr elements that are parents of empty th elements").

This will affect all tr elems in thead, regardless of whether they're empty or not:

thead > tr {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  border: 0;
}

But... the good news is that it doesn't seem to adversely affect the non-empty case! (...What the hell? I guess the tr border rule is redundant.)

Anyway, you still end up typing an empty header row, so I'm guessing this workaround doesn't satisfy you.

Also note that you can create tables with HTML and then put whatever you want in them. Check out the info in the wiki: https:/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Tips-and-Tricks#tables

What I want to spare is the source what I type in. I use Markdown Here (I really like) to spare me time for formatting. So if would work this, would help me when I need to paste info without headers:
a | b | c
d | e | f

To have an extra grey border, would not bother me, but I have to type two extra lines for source text, this is what I want to avoid. (only if possible, of course)

@adam-p I don't understand, how can I use your answer with GitHub Flavored Markdown?
