Version

gog 0.17.0 (Homebrew 2026-05-15T18:03:28Z)

Symptom

gog docs write <docId> --tab=X --file=Y --markdown --append fails when the appended markdown contains a table. Body content before the table is appended successfully, but the table itself is dropped with:

insert native table: table not found near index N

Reproduces both when the table is embedded in a larger markdown file and when it is the only content in the file.

Repro

cat > /tmp/table.md <<'TBL'

TBL

gog docs write <docId> --tab=<tabName> --file=/tmp/table.md --markdown --append
# insert native table: table not found near index 7786

Expected

Table renders as a native Google Docs table (as it would in docs create --file --markdown).

Notes

• Distinct from docs find-replace --format markdown leaks inline / block markdown as literal text (italic, bold, blockquote, fenced code) #586 (italic/bold/blockquote/fenced code rendering in find-replace), which v0.17.0 fixed.
• Body text outside the table import correctly; only the native-table insert fails.
• Reproduced across ~28 separate --append operations against different tabs in the same doc; every trailing-table file showed the same error and dropped the table.

Workaround

Convert tables to bullet/definition lists in source markdown before appending. Lossy, but content survives.
