I have a specific docx table and i want to turn it into markdown using python

Hi. I have a docx file with this table:

i want to turn it into markdown using python. i tried this:

from docx import Document
from tabulate import tabulate

def extract_table_from_docx(docx_path):
    doc = Document(docx_path)
    table_data = []

    # Assuming the first table in the document
    table = doc.tables[0]

    for row in table.rows:
        row_data = []
        for cell in row.cells:
            # Replace newline characters with a space or any delimiter to keep the cell content together
            cell_text = ' '.join(cell.text.strip().split('n'))
            row_data.append(cell_text)
        table_data.append(row_data)

    return table_data

def convert_table_to_markdown(table_data):
    # Use the first row as headers
    headers = table_data[0]
    rows = table_data[1:]
    return tabulate(rows, headers=headers, tablefmt="github")


# Extract table data from DOCX file
path = "file.docx"
table_data = extract_table_from_docx(path)

# Convert table data to Markdown
markdown_table = convert_table_to_markdown(table_data)

# Print the Markdown table
print(markdown_table)

but i get this:

as you see column name “Category/Technical policy” is being splitted into several rows, which is wrong. How to solve this issue?
