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.
If you'd like it to stay in the same neat format and not in one line, you might need to consider another option besides a table in markdown or markdown altogether. Otherwise, you can just using the backtick (`) on the code block, like so:

```
#### Table Example
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 
--- | --- | --- 
`public class HelloWorld {public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello, World");}}` | random text | 1234563

```

Feel free to put this code in an online editor and see how it looks for yourself. Play around with it until it suits your needs: <http://dillinger.io/>
