What is table markup syntax now (at 2022-04-22)?

Question

Two months ago, I was able to create a table in Jira using markup syntax like this:

||Header 1||Header 2||
|content|content|

Now, when I write like this, I don't have the table but only the strings EXACTLY like that!

Something's broken.  So, what is the NEW table markup syntax?  Thanks

The new syntax appears to be like this

| Day | Meal | Price |
| --------|---------|-------|
| Monday | pasta | $6 |
| Tuesday | chicken | $8 |

But you must paste in plain text, any formatting will cause it to appear as text.

When I open my "Personal settings", at the bottom of the page is the "Jira labs".  There, it's written that

"We're currently transitioning everyone to the new issue view, so you're no longer able to switch back to the old issue view."

Maybe that's the reason why.  Fantastic.  Getting something new and breaking something old .... Can't we have both?

I have tried to paste that string at the end of any URL but that has no effect.  It has no effect on the creation of new issue and edition of old issue.

This table syntax is totally broken.
