I’m trying to parse a Markdown.MD table object into a string in Julia so that I can gather the list of things that are in the table and use them as strings later on in the code. I was wondering if there was any command that could easily convert the Markdown table into a parseable string?

Not sure what you mean. If you already have a `Markdown.MD` object, let’s call it `md`, you can turn it back into a string with `string(md)` but it seems more interesting to look into its internals, e.g. `md.content[1].rows`.
