Tables Not Rendered Properly in Chat UI – No Gaps or Lines Between Columns/Rows

[arnavchauhan7]

Hi team,

When using Py-Shiny's chat UI, I noticed that tables rendered in the response are not displayed properly. Specifically:

• There are no visible gaps or lines between columns and rows.
• The entire table appears like a single continuous line of text, which makes it difficult to read and interpret.
• This occurs even when using markdown-style tables.

Please refer to the attached screenshot for a visual example of the issue.

Expected Behavior:
Tables should be rendered with appropriate spacing, borders, or at least visual separation between columns and rows to enhance readability.

Actual Behavior:
Tables appear visually collapsed with no formatting.

Environment:

• Py-Shiny version: 1.4.0
• OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Single Language (Build 26100)
• Browser: Google Chrome
