gitlab markdown vs github markdown

embedding unordered lists inside a table does not work as expected in gitlab . the below code works and produces a 8x3 where the last column has raw html list elements . this same code works fine in github : https://gist.github.com/timball/a25bf58c39fc609368f4

fruits	frequency of eat	example uses
orange	6x week	juice marmalade
apple	2x month	pie peanut butter
pears	20x year	baked with cheese tarts
banana	2x month	smoothies ice cream
figs	10x week	breakfast tart impressing the ladies
tomato	1x month	throwing
