  • Several fixes for table module

    • Add new method for outputting the table as a markdown string.

    • Address errors in computing the table header object:

      We now allow None as the cell value, because this will be resolved where
      needed (e.g. in the pandas DataFrame).

      We previously tried to enforce rect-like tuples in all header cell
      bboxes, however this fails for tables with all-None columns. This fix
      enables this and constructs an empty string in the corresponding cell
      string.

      We now correctly include start / stop points of lines in the bbox of the
      clustered graphic. We previously joined the line's rectangle - which had
      no effect because this is always empty.

  • Improved exception text if we fail to open document.

  • Fixed build with new libclang 18.
