Tables aren't supported on Element Android, but a workaround is to use the elements td p /p td td p /p td. Android will render the P elements and not the table structure, and Element Web will render the table structure and not the P. This looks good on nheko too.

Inline fields would look weird if they were the only ones in the table and had a border, but apparently colspan is supported, so the whole embed can be in a table! Nice!

colspan isn't supported in Element, here's the MSC: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4003

Implementing these tables in OOYE and Schildi should hopefully be enough for them to update the sanitiser in Element.

Nheko already supports colspan, yay!
