Question: I am confused on how the "/" works in htm ex: <https://stackoverflow.com/questions>**/ask**
So I have an api and how it works is that it looks up the username. So what I want is a search box and when they click search it goes to index.html/searchtext and in jquery it gets the "search" portion and turns it into a string.

Answer: 
You can't without raw HTML. 

Most, if not all Markdown implementations which support table syntax only support inline markup within table cells. That means that "block level" constructs can not be used within table cells from Markdown. That means no paragraphs, lists, blockqoutes, code blocks, etc. 

If you want to wrap a code block in a table cell in a Markdown document you will need to use raw HTML for the entire table and most likely the code block as well.
Pandoc supports [grid tables](http://pandoc.org/README.html#extension-grid_tables) with embedded code blocks:
