Marking this confirmed, in that a cell containing the string "**" renders to

<tr><th>  </th></tr>

I don't think it should render as a header cell, as it doesn't contain a bold string. But the asterisks should not get consumed either.

master has the same behaviour.

• Cell containing two asterisks is initially rendered as a header
• Roundtrip through Wysiwyg changes to an empty cell.
• <nop> survives the roundtrip.

master (upcoming 2.2.0) has had a lot of work on table handling in WysiwygPlugin, but this isn't changed. Suggested solution:

• A table cell with ** should not be a header, and t
• Two ** should survive the round trip
• Document the *<nop>* as a solution, or invent/document a better way to create empty header cells.
