Bug #959908 [pandoc] pandoc: no warning
As you can see from pandoc's changelog, the man reader was only
introduced in version 2.4. You're using an older version, so...

It seems to me that that interpretation was rather optimistic (and
easily falsifiable using the provided reproduction steps):
horizon:~$ rm -f bbcbasic.html; pandoc -f man -s -o bbcbasic.html
/tmp/minimal_nroff2.1 ; echo exit status $?; ls -l bbcbasic.html
Unknown reader: man

Thank you for your report. If you'd run a more recent version of
pandoc, you'd have seen the additional warning:
[WARNING] Could not deduce format from file extension .man
Defaulting to markdown
which should explain things.
Add '-f man' to your command line and it should work fine. (At
This nroff input seems to be minimal and will reproduce the problem:
.TH foo 1 2020
.TS
;
l l.
0xBD "CHR$"
0xBE "GET$"
.TE
The problem is unrelated to the use of the table, though, since this
also reproduces the problem:
.TH foo 1 2020
Both "CHR$" and "GET$" are keywords in BBC BASIC.
Package: pandoc
Version: 2.2.1-3+b2
Severity: normal
How to reproduce:
1. Start with this nroff input file:
.TH "BBC BASIC" 5 2020-05-06 \" -*- nroff -*-
.SH "SOME EXAMPLE TABLE"
.TS
tab(|) allbox;
lb lb
l l.
Byte|Keyword
0xBC|"VPOS"
0xBD|"CHR$"
0xBE|"GET$"
.TE
