Anchor tag prevents a table from rendering

[sgilda]

I ran into a problem where an anchor tag seems to impact and prevent a table from rendering.

You can view the issue here: https://gist.github.com/1995690

You'll see that the table in "Section 1" does NOT render, but the table in "Section 2" renders fine. The only difference is a blank line was added between the anchor and the next line in Section 2.

The following is the text from the file:
