Prosemirror-tables - rationale of <p> tag within <td>

1

I’m investigating PM’s prosemirror-tables module and I have a couple of questions:

  1. what is the rationale of having a tbody element? Can I suppress it?
  2. what is the rationale of having a p tag as child of a td element?

Browsers automatically create <tbody> elements for tables.

You can configure what content cells accept with the cellContent option.

Thanks for your answer, I will look into cellContent.

With respect to tbody ~ the fact that a browser creates it on render strictly speaking does not necessarily relate to the semantic content of the table IMO. I (now) understand why prosemirror-tables rolls with this invariant though.
