It can be done - I've just simplified the table in projects.md and split it
over two lines. In this case I used the Liquid {%- link %} tag to remove
preceding whitespace (the "-" after the "%" does that).
However, without the need for that link tag, then with Liquid 4.x (which
Jekyll is locked to) its a hack. Would be easier in Liquid 5.x using the {%
echo %} tag, but Jekyll is currently incompatible with 5.x.
I might add a custom "does nothing" tag, to make this easier.
So I don't think we need to add another format for content.
