No Markdown in <div>s or <table>s ?

How do people work around this when they want to apply Markdown to
text in table elements, or to text in divs? For example, in a basic
page with a grid layout, one would want to use markdown in the
navigation <div> as well, say for a list of links. Seems like a pretty
serious limitation.
