Public bug reported:
I was experimenting with tables of different types (as documented at
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/demo/example9/pandocs-markdown.html)
and I had a table like this:
Aug 20 Aug 19
-------------------- --------- --------
Dollar rate 176.100 176.100
Trading volume (M$) 4.33 2.83
Bids 4.44 3.01
Offers (M$) 4.33 2.83
This rendered fine, but for various reasons, I wanted to convert it to a
pipe_table:
| | Aug 20 | Aug 19 |
|:---------------------|--------:|--------:|
| Dollar rate | 176.100 | 176.100 |
| Trading volume (M$) | 4.33 | 2.83 |
| Bids | 4.44 | 3.01 |
| Offers (M$) | 4.33 | 2.83 |
This does not render correctly -- I had to backslash-escape the dollar
signs to fix it. I can guess how this happened, but this idiosyncratic
detail of LaTeX math mode formatting should arguably not leak through to
Pandoc (especially since you might want to render through something else
than LaTeX which handles the backslashed dollar signs differently).
I am attaching a simple test file in Markdown. The command line I used
was the simplest imaginable, pandoc -o tndoc.pdf tndoc.md
I am only just beginning to learn to use Pandoc. If there is something
more I should be including for diagnostics, please let me know.
$ apt-cache policy pandoc
