Add CSS class to markdown table

According to this old post: Markdown extra not work, there's no way to add a class to a table... is this still true? And is the solution offered there still the best one?

Quoting:

@hugoaf:
AFAIK there is no way to add a class to a table in markdown extra.
One possible alternative is to wrap your table in a div

HTMLCopy

<div class="divtable" markdown="1"> 

First Header  | Second Header
------------- | -------------
Content Cell  | Content Cell
Content Cell  | Content Cell

 </div>

then use the .divtable table { } selector.

Thanks.

True.

Wrapping the element with class is the quickest, and sometimes render a markdown extra to be useless.

Unless you want to write your own markdown
